Did my Energy Drink React with Botox Injections?

June 10, 2009
Asked By:N Houston Mom in Houston, Texas

I had Botox yesterday afternoon above the brow line. This morning I drank a 6 hour energy shot. After drinking it I thought I was having a 'niacin flush' from neck to eyes. It started getting painful (like ant bites) so I put a cold cloth on my face. At that point my face puckered (think 80 year old woman without her dentures in) and went numb. Six hours later the puckering has gone down but I'm still a tad numb. Was this a bad drink reaction or has the drink reacted w/ the Botox?

Answer: If anything, this might be related to your drink, but not the Botox.
