If you do not like the accompanying side effects then you should chose to discontinue the same and go ahead with some other option of birth control. Please speak to your doctor about the same. As for the side effects, they should soon subside as the effect of the depo shots wears off, most probably about a month or so after the next shot is due.
Best wishes.
