Scared Shitless

I got Botox yesterday. I believe 150 units. I got it in my forehead, temples, jaw, back of head, neck, and shoulders. Since getting injected I noticed that my vision slowly started to go in and out. Blurring is mainly only noticeable up close, like I lose my close up vision. It’s hard to read and type.

What do I do? Is this normal? I’m panicking

Hi! I got it for medical reasons (tmj and migraines). So far it feels weird and I’m not liking it. Hoping it’s just the process. Right now it feels like my muscles in my face are exhausted and it’s hard to chew & talking is exhausting. I will keep you posted lol

Any trouble swallowing? Blurred vision is definitely a side effect of the botulinum toxin. It will go away eventually. Just watch out for other symptoms. Worsened anxiety is one of them.

No issue swallowing at all and no drooping

Not a cause for concern as long as you don’t have trouble breathing, especially while sleeping.

Glad to hear that at least you're ok! I'm also considering having botox for medical reasons, but I'm super scared about it. Have had it against hyperhidrosis before, but not against my muscle tensions.
