I have read that Botox can cause severe insomnia, especially in older people. Is this true? (Photo)

January 30, 2015
Asked By:Dr. Edwards in Mountain Pine, AR

I am 73 years old. The clinic where I had Juvederm injections has recommended Botox for the lines between my eyebrows. I'm interested but insomnia is something I cannot risk due to a heavy workload. I have fibromyalgia and must be careful to not over stress. Your help is appreciated.
