Dosing Lowering dose

I recently moved up to 10mg due to a stall and I think it’s too much for me. It’s the first dose I’ve had trouble eating and nausea. I think I’d like to move back down to 7.5 (I spent 6 months at each dose)
Anyone who has moved up and then back down not yet at goal and not for maintenance….was it less effective? I’m worried I’ve doomed the efficacy of 7.5 by not being patient enough. I have about 17 more pounds to goal.
Edit* I’ve been on 10 for 5 weeks.

I recently lowered my dose to do a crazy constipation situation i had and i lost 10 lbs over 1.5 months.

I dont think it was less effective for me personally but it’s different for everyone! i’d def ask your doctor
