"Before using Botox for the first time I suffered from 24/7 migraines lasting continuously for more than 2 years. My migraines were presenting primarily as pressure behind my left eye. After Botox I instantly felt relief, the first week I felt a 90%-100% reduction in my regular migraine pains and eye pain 1st month- 1 week of migraines 2nd month- 2 weeks of migraines 3rd month-3 weeks of migraines FIRST Botox- 50% average reduction in migraines over 3months. HOWEVER….a new pain; the worst headaches I’ve ever experienced presented from day 1 of Botox. It is day 90 now and I feel like I’m in more pain than I even started with constant headaches It feels like my whole head is under immense pressure. I am supposed to get my second Botox next week but I am super hesitant. Even though it really has helped with the migraines, this new pain of headaches I’m thinking now is worse. I just want to be pain-free. I feel like no one in the world understands this feeling. Please be careful!!"

"I had therapeutic Botox every three months for 2-3 years. After a few years, I started getting ten heart palpitations a minute that correlated to Botox. I stopped Botox and the palpitations stopped. I then began having general muscle weakness and chronic fatigue and now have tachycardia, shortness of breath, and blood pressure issues. I have had multiple testing and the doctor can’t find the issue. I believe it is from the botox. I can no longer work and still have no answers as to why my health continues to decline."

"It works very well for about 75-80 days. Prescription is for every 90 days, so I run into problems at the end and end up taking a lot of Sumatriptan tablets and injections for the last part of the prescription. When I go in to see the doctor on the 90th day, the migraine goes away almost immediately after the injections."
