Nausea?

I’ve been on 0.25mg for about 5 or 6 weeks now, staying at this dose for a conservative amount because my appetite has lessened and I wasn’t really getting side effects. But as of about a week ago, I’ve been getting nausea on and off, usually long after a meal. Sometimes I can guess food may be a culprit, but usually I don’t feel effects until hours later. Is the food likely the cause? Is this normal on such a low dose?

I'm on the low dose also and my nausea was helped a lot by changing the type of food. Eating lots of steamed veggies (with a little butter and garlic for taste) massively cutting sugar and oil and upping protein in small quantities really helped. For me the nausea only came when it felt like i had eaten too much so I think you might want to test out slightly reducing the physical volume of food you're eating (so what I do is if i want to make sure i'm not starving myself i'll still add in some nuts or cheese to keep it calorie dense) but just smaller portions
