Does Tylenol With Codeine Or Ritalin Cause Night Terrors?

Can Tylenol with codeine or Ritalin cause night terrors? My son is 5 he started the night terrors earlier this year when he broke hires leg and was given Tylenol with codeine. When he stopped taking it was the same time the cast was removed so we related to the leg hurting. He recently started Ritalin about 2 months now and the night terrors are back started up again last week. Can this be a side effect of medication?
