I got 300 units of Botox underarm sweating and sweating worse than before. What could have gone wrong?

Asked By:bestrest in Calabasas, CA

I typically get 100 units in each underarm every 4 to 6 months and it worked great but it would wear off so this time I tried 150 units per underarm and i have more sweating than the previous 100 unit treatments! The only difference is that I changed doctors and this doctor does the injections slower. Please help
