I'm 4 weeks on .5mg and next week I go up to 1mg. So far I haven't been drinking alcohol because I am not a big drinker in general. On my birthday I took my normal .5mg shot and had two margaritas and some pizza for dinner. I woke up at 1am sweating and projectile vomiting. I'm totally fine now but I'm wondering if this happened because I had the drinks ON shot day. Just want to figure out the best way to handle alcohol moving forward!

It's funny because I am on my 9th week of shots and haven't been drinking because with all the side affects didn't even want it, but last night we were out with friends and I got a bit carried away food, AND had 3 glasses of wine. Ended up getting sick, but also last night sweated all.night, shivers as if I had a fever...has this ever happened anyone?

Normally for me that negative side effects of alcohol are only amplified on a shot day when I'm titrating UP the medication so I always avoid alcohol when I'm changing the dose. Your story is interesting since it's the same dose you'd been accustomed to. Perhaps the margarita was too sour? I find too much citrus now can bother my stomach.

so interesting how it impacts everyone differently! I can usually have one drink and be fine but my stomach starts to hurt after more

Ugh I'm sorry to hear that! My dad has greatly decreased his alcohol consumption since starting Wegovy, but he has no negative side effects when drinking one or two drinks even on shot day. Maybe your experience will vary with the type of alcohol though!

I haven’t had a great experience with alcohol at all on my GLP1 journey so totally think it’s related.
