Has Anyone Had Botox
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had Botox with no seizure activity afterwards. I was wonder because I’d like to do around my eyes and I’m scared they will trigger seizures ! Any help would be appreciated.

Hi- My son who has tonic clonic seizures and is on Trileptal gets Botox in his hamstrings for tightness every 3 months. We've never had any problems. Not sure if it being closer to your brain makes any difference at all.

its fine but i wouldnt try it. my stepdad had botox for his back. he didnt have seizures but he got vary, VARY angry. like the max keppra rage x10 angry. drs also said i need botox for my bad arm. so i read it and pass on it. botox effects last for a couple of weeks but it will stay there for a lot of years to a decades. and if they poke you too many times, it will not work or get an infections.
