Q: Mounjaro vs Wegovy, considering ADHD + Booze?

Hey all. I'm a 40 year old 162cm (5'4) / 80-85kg man who is aiming for ~65-70kg, which is where I was ~10 years ago when I was a quite fit.

I've been asked to choose between Mounjaro and Wegovy. I have ADHD, and the main contributor toward with my overeating is empty calories from booze + bad food. Otherwise I have an average diet. I've tried naltrexone and other non-glp1 solutions, and have lost ~10kg over the last few years which seems to be partially be from the ADHD meds, in my case Vyvanse.

I've managed to bring in some pretty decent strength training over the last 3 months, rock climbing 3-4 times a week + some body weight, so I'm reasonably strong for my weight, just struggling to get rid of the fat.

My psych and GP have both said GLP-1 meds are suitable, but I am wondering how to choose between Mounjaro and Wegovy. I can afford either, but a cursory read made it seem like Wegovy had slightly more evidence for folks with ADHD, with evidence thin on the ground either way.

Would love some thoughts, or to be pointed toward further reading / etc.

Many thanks, folks.
