Giving up ahead of goal (Wegovy)

I've lost over 2 stone since end October '25 and am 5lbs off goal. It's been good up to the last fortnight (I'm on my second pen of 1mg) but my nausea has really ramped up. I've also been very constipated (even got hemorrhoids) and have been soo tired and lethargic. I'm staying hydrated and eating well but just no improvement to the side effects. Has anyone else has this happen where side effects get worse even though no increase in dose? I'm thinking of stopping this week as it's hard to carry on working and I'm going to bed super early every night - I'm pretty happy at 10 stone 6lbs.

If its your second 1mg pen its possible the dose and full impact of 1mg have still been building up to now.

What does eating well look like on how many kcal?

That's possible, I hadn't considered that I hadn't yet felt the full effects of 1mg - thanks. I follow WW online rather than count calories and I've adjusted my points as I've lost, I'm on 23.

I have been on wegovy since September 25, after losing almost 5 stone on mounjaro. I had very little side affects with mounjaro, but wegovy is giving me more side effects. I am tired all the time no energy, nausea, and my weight has remained the same , loose 1-2 lbs and regain, same every week. I watch what I eat, plenty chicken /salad/veg/ fish. Occasionally I’ll have a home made curry minus the rice. A glass of rose on a Saturday. I am really disheartened. I do feel like giving up, but still have 1.1/2 stone to go. I am considering going back to mounjaro. Any advice would be welcome. I can’t afford mounjaro, but if I’m not losing on wegovy then maybe I could afford it in the long run!
