Are the toxins in Botox the cause of the anxiety/panic attacks, or is this a result from the blocked nerve?

Asked By:northcar in Atlanta, GA

Hi! I'm healthy, happy, mid 30s, and never been medicated or had a history of anxiety or any mental issue. I've had Botox 6 or 7 times over the past 6 years, and loved it! Last two times, it affected my mental state. I had severe anxiety and first ever panic attacks within 24 hours (anxiety continued with last treatment). Are the toxins in Botox the cause of the anxiety/panic attacks, or is this a result from the blocked nerve? Could gfx be an alternative, or could that cause this too? Thanks!
