Do side effects get worse with higher doses?

Hi all, I’ve been trying to get healthy and do well with consistent exercise but just can’t control cravings or food noise. Now the weather is colder my cravings for carbs get a lot worse.
I’m going to try Ozempic for month but worried about the side effects…..

The starting dose is quite small any tips for dealing with side effects?
If I don’t get on with it assume the first dose just lasts a week and I won’t take any more?
I am assuming the risk of severe side effects is quite small on starting doses and might get worse as dose increases is that what people have found?

Advice welcome!

Why?

Mounjaro has been shown to produce greater weight loss, on average, and fewer side effects than Wegovy in the clinical trials.

A comparison of Wegovy and Mounjaro here which might help with your decision (not recommending Asda as I have never used them but it is a quite a good comparison)
