Has anyone had chronic migraines increase after switching from Depo Provera to norethindrone (mini-pill)?

I recently (less than 2 weeks ago) switched from Depo provera to norethindrone (also known as Micronor, Nor-QD or the mini pill) to treat my endometriosis. We also had a bad storm system start moving through the area. My migraines picked up about 4 days later after getting much better due to acupuncture. They ave been all but unstoppable since, putting me in the ER on Tuesday with what I was sure was a stroke (right sided weakness and vision impairment, slurred and stunted speech, confusion and disorientation). The ER doc said it was just a continuation of the migraine but that has never happened to me before, even during an intractable migraine. Have any migraine sufferers ever switched from Depo to the mini-pill and suffered a worsening in symptoms?
