I am on week 18 and at the second weight loss place. They are giving me 50 units I don’t feel it is effective as it was when I started but the price is still very high. Anyone have this problem and what to do.

Have you spoken with your prescriber, told them you feel you’ve hit a plateau? I’d start there.
Also, you may want to ask them to clarify for you what your dosage is in mg not units. Units are just a way to measure, what really matters is what your mg dosage is, and what the mg/mL is in your vial (or syringe or however they send it to you).
Eg:
dosage: 5mg
mg/ml: 10mg/1mL
That would be one way your units could be 50.
5mg/10mg * 1 = 0.5 is 50 units

Units are a measure of volume, not dosage.
First thing you’ll want to learn is how many mg per ml (a unit is 1/100 of an ml, or stated differently an ml is 100 units).
Once you know the strength, you can do the math simply.
From there you can speak accurately about your dosage.
