25 units on my prescription is too much?

Hi everyone, I’m starting my first dose of sema today. My doctor prescribed 25 units weekly, but there’s no mention of milligrams, so I’m not sure if that’s a lot or not. A year ago, I accidentally overdosed on a Wegovy pen I took 1mg instead of 0.25 mg — and had nausea for four days. I stopped after one week but lost 12 pounds, probably just water weight. Now, I’m scared to try again because I don’t want the same side effects.

My question is: Is 25 units too much for a beginner? If so, what’s the lowest dose that still works?
