I’ve been on Mounjaro since August. Down almost 60lbs, and it’s been a life changer. Have I had some gastrointestinal issues, sure, but expected. I feel great and my brain seems to be functioning as well as when I was in my 20’s. Now, when I go to the bar with friends, I end up having maybe 2 beers and although enjoyable, I don’t feel that light switch turning on which encourages me to drink more. Can I force myself to keep drinking, say if my good friends are in town and we’re going out all night? Sure, but there’s some reward center that’s no longer lighting up. I just get drunker, but it’s not more pleasurable. I was never a big drinker at home by myself. Maybe a glass of wine or two with dinner if my in-laws are coming over. Now I’ve literally had zero drinks at home by myself. Seems to have started changing about 3 month in.
Work also seems more interesting, but my untreated ADHD seems to be getting worse.
