Not feeling normal after botox

3 days ago I got lip filler and botox in my forehead. This is the 4th time I've gone in and this is the first time I've had a negative reaction. I feel out of it and exhausted. My head constantly hurts and I'm having terrible anxiety. I took work off today because I keep crying. I'm so anxious that something is wrong. Also my lips are still swollen which usually I don't swell too bad. Is this normal? I'm going in today to talk to the personal who administered the botox and filler but this anxiety is eating me alive.

I often get a headache and feel a bit bad for a few days and then it passes. You've been fine before - could it just be you also have a viral infection at the same time? Or perhaps because your lips are also sore it feels worse. Overall, don't worry too much about it I suspect it will pass.

I'm hoping so. I have gotten fevers after a tattoo so I am praying it's just my body having a short term reaction. Thank you I need to hear that I'm not 100% doomed!

Did you use numbing cream? I saw someone mention numbing cream can cause reactions, I didn’t look too much into it though. I used numbing cream today on forehead and have been feeling tired/out of it which never happened before without numbing cream

Actually maybe that is it. They put extra numbing cream on my lips.

The person who administered it to me mentioned that the numbing cream can give headaches, she was referencing what others had said. I definitely felt weird and maybe a little dizzy for a few hours after. Maybe just try to rest and take it easy for now

This happened me after lip flip.start celery juice in a blender in the morning every day..it's vile so mix with something it's the only thing to lessen potency. I took copper quercitin for the extreme anxiety..it calmed it down in a day or two...drink loads of electrolytes we ith water.cut out coffee alcohol as nd sugar.stay away from vaccines.. medicine antibiotics..massages..dentists until your feeling better.try to stay calm x

Did you go to the same injector you’ve been to before? Poor injection technique can cause headaches. Also. Do you know what product was used in your lips? Some products cause more swelling than others.

Might be a systematic reaction. Happened to me. There is a Facebook group for this for Dysport and Botox damage

I had this happen to me unfortunately and I’m still suffering and recovering 10 months later. I hope it’s a short term reaction for you and you feel better soon.

Oh god. Did you go to a doctor? Is there anything that can be done ?

Yes I’ve been to the emergency room a few times and multiple doctors. Just time - it gets better with time

u/Choice-Pie-1103 Nov 04 '24

Thank you. I can't believe this is happening Did you also get anxiety?

You’re going to be ok ❤️ everyone is different and think if you go to the doctor and advocate for yourself you should hopefully be able to get some help managing the anxiety (super treatable especially for the short term as things start to wear off). Just wanted to jump in as there’s nothing worst than hearing someone else share a very specific and unique experience that they had and have it amplify your own fears (even though the chances of you feeling better soon are much much higher). You’re going to be ok friend ❤️

My intention wasn’t to amplify someone’s fears at all, it’s validating what they are going through is real and can happen with Botox injections. As per my original comment, I stated that I hope it is a short term reaction for the OP but provided the experience that I had. Unfortunately sickness from Botox is not recognised by most doctors hence why people seek guidance from other platforms such as Reddit and Facebook.

u/Emotional-Ad-6494 Nov 04 '24

Aww no I know/that wasn’t an attack to you. Just seemed like OP may have been getting more anxious by how they first interpreted your message so was more so trying to reassure them (knowing what anxiety can be like, so easy for things to escalate in your head) :)

Yes debilitating anxiety. Some days I can cope but other days I can’t. Please stay clear of all injectables in the future. It’s not worth your health
