• Posted to Dysport and Botox Together - Tight Head on 28 Dec 2009

  I am going through a very similar experience right now after having Dysport and would caution anyone about to use this newly approved drug. I had injections done on my forehead, around my eyes and near my nose (for my lines on my lips). I have used Boxtox several times with NO side effects. I received the injections around 5:30 pm and did not lie down until 11pm. On Thursday, I felt a tingling sensation around my left lip and around my left side of my face. Initially I thought it was the dysport 'taking effect', but then I started to get concerned that I might be having a stroke as my face felt numb and my tongue wouldn't allow me to speak correctly. I went to my doctor and I didn't have any signs of a stroke or heart attack, it wasn't Bell's Palsy either as I could move my face, but the left side felt a little numb. She referred me to a neurologist who did a test on me and sent me for an MRI, nothing came back. I've had tingling and tightness in my head (especially my left side) and then as the weeks progressed, I felt tingling down my arms, feet. The MRI didn't show anything like MS and my doctor said it wouldn't have an 'onset' like I had experienced. I also have felt off-balance and this is all after I had these injections. I also went to ER and they didn't find anything wrong with me and thought it might be my body reacting to the dysport. I also experience a really late 'effect' of this drug. I saw the lines in my lips go away three weeks "after" the injections and would say that this drug has spreading effects. I also am experiencing anxiety after the injections too, racing heart , etc. I have NEVER had anything like this happen, I'm healthy. I'm in week four and can't wait for this drug to be out of my system, I heard it lasts longer. I will NEVER take this again and urge everyone to contact the FDA about their side effects. This is still a new drug.
