What Could Cause Nighmares?

I have nightmares since starting Hydroxyurea (Oral) for 4 years.....Doctors don't think its from the drug. Never had nightmares before. Could it be a interaction of Acetaminophen or Fiorinal (for headaches). I have essential thrombocytocsis and taken Hydrox 500, 1000 alternating each day.....Thank you so much

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Unlikely for the Hydrox to cause nightmares. Nightmares are horryfying dreams and dreams occur cause of mixing of fantasies with the real life events. Many times life stressors can cause night mares and even depression can cause nightmares. You may visit a psychiatrist who can evaluate you ones for depression or stress.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
