There's a woman I follow on tiktok that takes Mounjaro. I also take mounjaro so that's probably why she came up on my feed.

She is very, very thin and it is obvious she has an eating disorder (she actually says she has and has relapsed). She says she is 7 stone 10 and her goal weight is 7 stone, but she is pretty tall (5'10?). I think she looks even thinner than that tbh. She posted a couple months ago saying that she was banned from mounjaro after her GP contacted the supplier. She was asking for suppliers that don't ask for video calls or contact the GP and she managed to find one. She was able to get a few months supply before getting banned again and is now looking for another supplier. She's posted today about side effects and feeling really exhausted etc.

I feel like I have a moral responsibility to report her to her new supplier because she's pushing herself into the grave. But 90% of me is saying i should just mind my own business. I worry about the future of mounjaro if underweight people with ED's are able to obtain it and then become serioiusly ill from it.

YABU = mind your own business
YANBU = report her

She is not your friend. She is a total stranger. Stay out of her business - no good will come of meddling.

She must have mental health issues.

It's hard enough dealing with family and friends who have mental health issues so to take on a role of responsibility for a stranger on social media is foolhardy.

If she is doing something illegal and you feel strongly about this then report her to the relevant people/ authority if you chose. Then step back.

You can message the supplier with a link to her TikTok - up to them what they do about it.

I don’t see any issue with you doing that.

Maybe pm messsge to her directly ? Even if you cut off her supplies she us still actively anorexic so can get supplies on black market

maybe it’s best she gets it from a safe place rather than fake supplier ??

You should mind your own business, you have no responsibility to or power over her. She's not doing anything illegal (I think - buying prescription drugs isn't illegal in itself unless they are proscibed substances like morphine). People are allowed freedom to make bad choices - if this wasn't the case most forms of employment would be banned, because work drives many people into an early grave.

It is being fraudulently obtained, though.

Why do you have a moral responsibility towards her? Do you feel the same way about drug addicts or alcoholics you randomly encounter? Do you feel you should resport them to someone because they too, are killing themselves?Somehow I doubt it.

I would mind my own business, if she wants to kill herself, let her crack on
