"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 3 months. 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 tests, 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."
