I received Botox injections between my eyebrows 3 days ago and I've been feeling dizzy ever since. I can't leave the house because I'm afraid I will faint. I'm extremely anxious and have trouble sleeping. I feel "out of it" and disconnected from my surroundings. I never felt this way my whole life. I'm afraid it's just going to get worse, because the effec of th Botox on my forehead just started.

Dr told me the toxin would live my system within 48 hours, does anybody know if this is true? He also thinks my anxiety shouldn't have anything to do with Botox, but then why do other people seem to have experienced symptoms similar to mine?

It sounds like anxiety.

I feel dizzy too. How long did it last for you? Is there anything you did that made you feel better?

I am so relieved to hear that someone else has the same problem. I had botox in my crows feet last year and had no problems, but decided to go a bit further and have it between my eyebrows 12 days ago, and have been feeling dizzy and "disconnected" since. I thought it may have been a sinus infection, but sinus medication has had no effect. How are you now? And how long did this awful feeling last? I certainly will not be having botox again, unfortunately, it's just not worth feeling like this.
