Can Botox help treat involuntary facial tics from my anxiety disorder?

November 15, 2018
Asked By:WackFack in Minneapolis, MN

Hello! I suffer from moderate social anxiety, and the anxiety causes my eyes to get really wide and I look terrified when I talk to people to the point where customers have complained about it at my job. Is this something Botox injections could help? I am wondering if having Botox injected by my eyes could help me stop making these facial expressions. Also, could botox in my shoulders help prevent my shoulders from tensing up? Thanks!
