Does Progestin Cause Muscle Twitching?

Hi there,



I recently discontinued Micronor - I was on it for six months. For the past couple weeks since stopping the medication, I have started having muscle twitches all over. They occur randomly, and it goes on all day. Have you ever known of muscle twitching being a side effect of discontinuing progestin-only birth control pills? Thanks.
