Can Dysport Keep You Awake at Night?

Question

I've had 16 units injected around the eyes today at 10.30am. It is now 2.30am and I can't seem to get to sleep. I don't normally have insomnia, so was wondering if Dysport is related to my sleeplessness. Thanks.

Dysport should not cause insomnia. It sounds like you may have some anxiety or other things going on that are causing you not to sleep. Hopefully these issues will resolve and you can get some sleep.

Dysport should not have any affect on sleeping or lead to insomnia.  You may be experiencing some anxiety that may be leading to your inability to fall asleep.

Having been treated with Dypsort to the eye area, or any other area for that matter, will not lead to insomnia.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Insomnia or the inability to fall asleep at night is is no way related to treatment with Dysport. In general, Dysport may result in the following side effects:

	1) Swelling
	2) Light bruising
	3) Redness
	4) Tenderness around the injection site

	Is there currently any stress in your life? Are you experiencing anxiety? Was there a change in your diet or did you have a large amount of caffeine? These are all things that may lead to insomnia, and I would think about anything else in your routine that may have led to your inability to fall asleep. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Dysport does not cause insomnia. I am assuming you had six injections around the crows feet areas. This meens a little over 3 units per injection? it seems to be very low dose. let us know the results.
