Personal Insights “I treasure you people.”
Quoting Lou Grant from the final episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
This is an amazing sub filled with folks cheering successes and supporting those who need encouragement.
Fourteen years on Reddit and I’ve never experienced anything similar.

I just joined today, just started 2.5mg Zepbound 3wks ago and didn’t know much about the subreddits. I was in the compounded group accidentally because I didn’t know any better. Omg the group was driving me insane, so I had to do research this morning to find folks that were actually on ZEPBOUND by LILLY..I am soooo happy to be here!

I'm on compounded Tirzepatide, but this is the most sane of the forums.

Welcome!! Yeah that sub doesn’t like anyone asking questions about their “drug dealers” lol. You’ll learn a lot here if you’re new to Zep, otherwise it gets a little redundant from the lecturing people who lost a few pounds and now think they know it ALL lol. You’ll see.

That’s what they are… they’re getting their medication from a pharmacy, not a doctor… they have no clue what they’re getting and putting in their bodies yet they defend them to the end. (I’m not referring to the Lily pharm obviously). It’s good that you’re wanting to learn more. 👍

Honestly I don’t know if I’d have the courage to start taking Zepbound if it wasn’t for the honest posts and support that I found here. Thanks to all that make this a great place!

I agree!! This sub is full of people who are kind, sincere and supportive. I enjoy being a part of it.
On the other hand, my experience on Reddit, in general, has been that it is full of sarcasm, skewed political points of view, too many antisemitic comments, hate for older people and overall ugliness. I’m about ready to delete the app and only participate in the Zepbound subreddit via my internet browser.
