No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this nightmares that you must have been experiencing. Thyroxine is not known to cause this and I am sure this is unlikely to be the cause. However, if the nightmares began soon after starting thyroxin, then we may want to suspect. In this case, talk to your doctor, stop the drug for a while and see if it makes a difference. If it does, then we may switch to another brand and if it doesn’t, other causes of this dream may be sought. Most dreams are related to our experiences and not the medications we take.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
