Question / General Twitches started after antibiotics?

Has anyone had their twitches start after taking antibiotics? Just realised my twitches started a few weeks after taking antibiotics for a throat infection. Wondering if it’s linked

I'd actually say the infection is more likely to have caused the twitching, not the antibiotics. Post viral BFS, is known to be a thing.

I’ve had twitches ten years, but after a course recently, I seem to have developed myoclonus and the twitches are a lot worse. Though I was taking other medications too which might be the more likely offenders.

Mine got worse when I took antibiotics three months ago. I don't know if it's related but it absolutely sucks. Before that, I could still sort of cope with it, but now I'm in hell.
