Check your sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium intake. Multis are usually poor sources of these. Do you do any cool-down, stretching, or anything like that after? You don't make a mention of your training protocol so that cannot be evaluated but excessive muscle contractions or loading [for you] can be a contributing factor.
