I am 26 & had botox treatment for chronic migraines 2 weeks ago. 2 days after the treatment I got a droopy left eyelid that has got progressively worse over the past 2 weeks. Both of my eyes are dry (something I've never experienced before), and neither of my eyes are producing tears. Both eyes are red, and blurry all the time. I have also developed a spasm or twitching under the droopy eye.

Answer: Botox side effects Botox like any other medication, occasionally can have side effects. Most of the time they are transient and tend to decrease over time, starting 3 weeks after the injection. Side effects may depend on the amount of units injected ( for migraine it is typically a lot of Botox), injection site, technique but also patient health condition and following directions after the injection. I suggest to see your doctor if symptoms are not starting to improve after 3 weeks or if they continue to get worse for more than 2 weeks after the injection.

Answer: Botox Relief Sorry to hear about your experience. One thing that we like, and hate, about Botox is that the affect always goes away. In this case of unwanted affects like yours, rest assured, these unwanted affects will resolve (but so will the wanted affects). Sometimes we try an eye drop called "Lopidine", which may give temporary relief from the eye symptoms. You will want to talk to your doctor to see if that is an option for you.
