Asked By:SideEffectsBeGone in San Francisco, CA

First time Botox 2 weeks ago. 4 hours after injection stomach turned, an urge to vomit for several hours came. Took and still taking Zofran for nausea. Weight loss, only smoothies/crackers/soup. I am healthy 43 y/o female, exercise regularly, live a clean lifestyle no drinking, smoking, coffee, etc. In rare cases I have read these side effects can last some time. Can anyone suggest how long it will last? What underlying condition can I look into, considering the side effects I am having.
