Can reducing carbimazole cause headaches? I’ve googled & searched! But can only find it as a side effect of the med not specifically reducing it.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Carbimazole reduces your thyroid hormone levels. If you reduce your dose of carbimazole then your thyroid hormone levels may go up again. I suspect that practically anything and everything to do with altering thyroid hormone levels can result in a headache.
