Botox Overdose


MigrainesShortly after my last round of Botox injections I started to notice I was having a hard time swallowing.  When trying to eat food rather then it taking me one swallow to get the food down it would take me three.  I found myself trying constantly re-positioning my neck to try and make it easier to swallow.  While eating I would become so tired from how much work it would take to swallow my food I would give up on trying to eat.  I mostly stuck to soft foods that didn’t need much, if any, chewing. 

I also began to experience neck weakness.  After a short period of time I simply got tired of holding my head up.  I constantly found myself resting my head on my hand or leaning it on something. 

It took about four weeks before I saw the overdose issues to start easing up.   Needless-to-say it was a long, exhausting four weeks.  This is the first time this has happened and hopefully the last.  And now my doctor knows my tolerance limit, at least of what I can handle in my neck.
