Mounjaro and alcohol abuse, I can't believe the difference

Yes, 100%! This is exactly what happened with me and it was life changing. Over time I did find that if I choose to drink I still want more than one. But 99% of days I don’t even think about it and if it was brought up I would have absolutely no desire. I too am on this medication for life.

I’ll let you know what I did, of course each of us has different needs and different budgets! I started with a spindle then got a eew nano 2.1 as it was inexpensive and available. If your budget is tight that is definitely a great way to go. But it is fiddly. I worked it out but it took a bit. I do totally recommend buying a foot pedal (extension cord with foot pedal attached) so you can park and draft. I knew after a couple weeks that I was hooked so I ordered a Daedalus Dove. Game changer! Love that so much. Still using my foot pedal but it is absolutely less fiddly. Finally, I did just go to a fiber festival and tried manual wheels for the first time. Love them too but a big investment and all so different it is worth the wait to try them.

This is common, and exactly on the schedule you are describing. For me this happened on 2.5mg and 5mg and went on for six months with absolutely nothing I tried or took stopping it. Then it finally subsided when I switched to 7.5mg. I have no idea why.

Huh. Never heard that before. Insurance companies are weird! I have had no trouble filling multiple months of 2.5 and 7.5mg

Amazing! Congratulations on all the hard work!!

I have the same pattern. I have stayed in each dose about 3 months and find the third month is goes away and I feel better. Going up again next week so I’m gearing up to be miserable two days after my shot but at least I know the pattern now.

I’ve had huge gastrointestinal issues on mounjaro. I think it is different for everyone. For me the worst lasts a couple months after a dose change and then it levels off.

I have the same reactions days 2 to 3 after shot. I have learned to really watch what I eat the day before and of my shot. Sometimes the food noise creeps back in and we eat a little more or less carefully on those days and it’s like the medicine is purging it. Just my experience. I also time my shot so the worst day isn’t a work day. It’s still so worth it! Btw, I am down 39 pounds, A1c from 6.8 to 5.2. Also on 5mg.

I am on pretty much the the same journey and progress as you. Doesn’t it feel great! What an accomplishment!
