Hi @maldetete, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
i'm tagging @johnetteg to make sure he sees your message and hopefully will return to share his experience about how long it takes for after effects of botox to wear off for him.

Maldetete, did you report these side effects to your doctor?

maldetete, @johnetteg, If you look back on this thread you will find that I had similar problems. When I did it two years ago the assured me there were hardly any side effects. It was 10 times worse than my migraines or headaches, was to sure what they were. Anyway I had severe headaches, fatigue, balance, brain fog and really not able to operate on my normal level!
During my journey through Lyme Disease/Fibromyalgia I have never had anything affect me like the Botox injections.
A WARNING TO ANYONE WHO MAY CONSIDER BOTOX TO BE VERY CAREFUL!
AS COLLEEN SAYS LET YOUR DOCTOR KNOW IMMEDIATELY!!

Good morning, Yes, had a discussion with the Pain Management consultant who stated that what I was experiencing wasn't caused by Botox and I discussed with my G.P. who carried out blood tests which came back normal. In fact two days ago I called him again feeling quite unwell with all the symptoms of an imminent heart attack. I ended up in A&E where I had extensive tests nothing indicating heart problems, I did however have a blood pressure of 164 which is incredibly high for me I am usually around 128. Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me.
