Hi I've just had my dose of carbimazole reduced from 20mg down to 10mg, I've had a bad headache everyday since, could this be the reason????

I'm sorry. I took carb for quite a while but I was on block and replace so it was never reduced until the day I stopped it - at that point I went from 40mcg to 0mcg but I didn't have a headache then.

Ok thanks just seems a bit coincidental that it's after having been reduced, will give it another week. Thanks
