Daisygirlsk Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hello, I am into my 8th month of withdrawal. I still have daily symptoms but I am very slowly making some progress. I seem to have hit the ten month wave a week or so ago. It was terrifying and severe and lasted a week and a half. I feel I have made some more improvement since then. From 2007-2016 I got botox injections every year to control my excessive sweating. It is getting bad again and I am wondering if having Botox during withdrawal is a bad idea or if there are any potential adverse reactions because of it? I never had issues with it for the 9 years I had it done but everything is scary in withdrawal. Any tips or advice? Thank you.
