I'm on a break now (started 1 week ago) to see if going off PM makes a difference. It could take weeks or months to know for sure though (as I've read the twitching can continue that long even after the cause is resolved). I doubt I'll stay off it that long but I'll definitely start back on a lower dosage and with progesterone added to the mix.

I have too but these are different. Both my calves will start twitching at once, probably 4 or five different muscles in each one. You can actually see them twitching. When they start they continue without any pause for several hours -- usually at night but also when I'm sitting. They don't twitch when I stand or walk.

Definitely not stress on my part (life is pretty wonderful for me right now) but I have started taking magnesium, calcium, and B12 supplements as recommended by quite a few people with similar symptoms.
Thank you for the inputs!
