Coming off Imipramine, is headache and nosebleed a side effect?

Coming off Imipramine..

I've been on 100mg for 7-8 months for anxiety and intrusive thoughts but they've not made a difference. Because of regular headaches the GP was keen to get me off and I had 50mg for a week and for the last 5 days 25mg. For 3 days I've had a headache and last night had a nosebleed. It's a weird headache not like my normal ones (stress, tiredness, starting meds etc) it feels like my head is pulsating and if I bend down and up again my head feels tight and when I had the nosebleed and still this morning the area between my eyes and sort of above my eyes feels like pressure is there. I've typically always had low blood pressure so I can't imagine it being anything to do with high blood pressure hmm.

I worry a lot so anything like this makes me worry I've got a brain tumor or something, so I'm hoping for experience or reassurance that it's probably coming off the medication? I will be speaking to the docs in a few days as they're going to give me a prescription to try Mirtazipine so I will check with them then about it but tbh I don't always feel that reassured my doctor's as I think they just fob you off. I know headaches are probably because of stress, medication, lack of sleep etc but what if they're putting it down to these things and still something more serious they'll end up missing something then it's too late to treat etc. I know it's a bit paranoid but people do get tumours and stuff so don't get why it's always dismissed as a possibility!
