Brief Answer:
You can stop it for a few weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The headache and gain in weight is likely to be related to the hormone that you are taking. It is best to stop the medication for a few weeks and let your body restore the normal hormonal balance. This will reduce the migraines and you will get a chance to reduce the weight also.
Do consult your gynecologist for proper time to stop taking these.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
