Am 55 year old female and neurologist would like to try Botox for my incapasitating migraines which I have had for 37 years. I virtually have no days where I do not have either a migraine or a bad headache. Are there other people who have had Botox for migraines?

I've had migraines for 20+ years - I'm being treating with Botox. I just had my first treatment 3 weeks ago and have not had a migraine since. I have been getting one every week that last for 3-4 days. So to go 3 weeks pain free is GREAT!!!

On April 30,2009 I received an E-Mail from FDA Medwatch informing me that the FDA is requiring these products (licensed botulinum toxin products) to strengthen the warnings in product labeling and add a boxed warning regarding the risk of adverse events when the effects of the toxin spread beyond the site where it was injected. The FDA will also require that manufacturers develop and implement a Risk Evaluation. This can be found under: www.FDA Medwatch.gov I will be discussing this with my doctor on my next visit prior to having any further injections for my Benign Essential Blepharospasm and I am questioning as anyone else received any information or experienced any adverse events after receiving these injections?
