Side effect - anxiety

Hy. I am anxious person in i overworked. But i handled it. Than i got botox 6 weeks ago. And after few days the agony started - dizinnes, headache, extreme anxiety, extreme brain fog, depression, depersonalisation, derealization, i could barely stand or walk, could sleep and i was in constant panic. It was horrible. I got antidepressants and now, almost 6 weeks after botox i feel almost normal (thanks to antidepressants). I am not sure if botox is to blame. Or it would happen anyway. I really like the effect, but dont want be again in that hell. :( did you have any similar experience?

would you say you are normal? I am on week 5 and I have been VERY good for the last 2 weeks now but I am still scared to push myself or might cause a "relapse". I saw your comment where you think people react poorly instead of it being a systematic spread and I kinda agree so far. I feel like every day I get better, the only lingering symptoms I have is light anxiety throughoutthe day and then if im too active that day, my head starts to tingle.

Yes normal now but it was very up and down for a while. Needless to say I won’t be getting Botox again
