Stuck and can’t go up or down!

I’m on month 3 of monjuaro.
the first month was amazing - barely any side effects but great suppression. I lost well and felt so happy on it. Month 2 I stuck at 2.5mg as it had worked so well but the suppression started to wear off but also I suddenly started to get side effects. A day or so after the injection sulphur burps and so nauseous it was unbearable trying to carry on normal life. I got a 5mg pen for my 3rd month but only did just over 2.5mg again for the last 2 weeks as was nervous. I had really had itching at jab site, very limited suppression but terrible side effects again.
I feel so stuck as I can’t possibly go to 5mg with these side effects but equally I’m still getting them and limited suppression on 2.5mg!
its v frustrating and not sure if I just need to give up?
I was wondering if I took a few months off I could restart and get the same good effect as I did the first month.

Have you tried injecting into your thigh?
I found the side effects all disappeared (apart from suppression) when I changed from stomach to thigh. I’m 16 weeks in now and still on a 5mg dose & losing on average 2lb a week. The loss is slower than a lot of people but I’m happy losing slower if it means no horrible side effects.
