Facing bad side effects of a medicine
I was suffering from a cyst of 20mm in my rt ovary..and I consulted a local gynae here..so she prescribed me "Norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol" medicine because of my irregular menses too..but after taking 2 doses at night since 2 days I've been facing very bad side effects such as hot flashes, loss of appetite and dizziness..she told me to continue taking it for 21 days. As per the dose..but I'm not able to tolerate it's side effects. And if I stopped taking it I'll get menses. So should I stop taking it or continue? Is there any way to cure these side effects?

Drink plenty of water and proper food
Take tablet after dinner and try you sleep as early as possible

The medicine prescribed is correct. The side effects are unusual.
Oral contraceptive pills can cause a few side effects but hot flashes are not one of them.
Please get your FSH, LH and PRL level. You seem to have low oestrogen production for your age.
