Brief Answer:
Should be continued

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear it is a routine to give it for 2 months and then decrease the number of tablets after that which is then continued for another 4 months usually.
The headache is most likely due to pregnancy related vasodilation and not a side effect of drug.
This therapy should be taken fully always otherwise there can be resistance to the drugs which is not a good thing of course.
