Can Thyroxine Cause Nightmares?
Brief Answer:
probably not
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
thyroxine is not supposed to cause nightmares. Are you taking any other drugs, like beta blockers for example? Have you checked the hormones (TSH, free T4) ? If the hormones are OK then the chance that it's the drug are even lower. Hypothyroidism (high TSH) may sometimes cause bad dreams.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
