Need help with droopy eyelid after Botox.

March 29, 2018
Asked By:lnv17 in Memphis, TN

Botox for the first time 3/20. Forehead/frown lines. Now with R eyelid drooping x3 days. Contacted injecting MD to ask for Apraclonidine 0.5% solution. RN informed me he doesn't prescribe it. Stated it will wear off, suggested I go to my PCP. I don't have a PCP, I rarely go to the Dr. (trauma RN, we are the worst patients). I don't want to look crazy for months. It's worth a try to me, ANY improvement would be better than this. How do I get the RX if injecting MD won't prescribe it?
