I have noticed fatigue after the injections but these faded for me a week in.

It's possible. One of the side effects of Botox injection is extreme fatigue or CFS (Chronic fatigue syndrome) which you have to consult with a neurologist.

Kblovie; Yes I have found that in the side effects and 3 peoples post that say that is there the main problem also but normally it does get better and you also need fewer shots. you could give your doctor a call Monday and see if this is going to be a regular problem good luck to you

I have been getting Botox for about 10 years (before insurance paid for it) I have found that Botox becomes less effective over time and that you should always get about 30 shots each time as the FDA recommends ( wears off in 3 to 4 months). I personally have had mild fatigue when I first started but it went away after a couple of times.
