Slightly tangential to Oral vs injectable GLP-1 but mike_mealprep reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Thanks for sharing this, mike_mealprep. A few questions about your Oral vs injectable experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Oral vs injecta?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

Relevant to Oral vs injectable GLP-1 — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 235 → 105 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
