Staying on 2.5mg Mounjaro in 2nd month

For those that stayed on 2.5mg in the 2nd month did the suppression continue or did it wear off during month 2?

I'm due to take my 3rd injection tomorrow and am due to order my next pen. I'm unsure whether to stay on 2.5mg or move up to 5mg. I've had good suppression, have lost 9lb in 2 weeks but I do get quite a bit of nausea in the first 2-3 days after the injection. I'm thinking about staying on 2.5mg because it works so far but I'm worried it could wear off before month 3.

My friend has been on 2.5mg since she started in October and has lost 4.5 stone. She didn't want to risk any GI side effects and also wanted to still have to use some will power and not rely on appetite suppression which will hopefully then make it easier to nor regain any weight when she stops. I wish I'd done that now rather than move up each month which I did for the first 3 doses.
