Did my Energy Drink React with Botox Injections?

N Houston Mom
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?
