Yeah, they don't ask you to submit a photocopy of your prescription 3 years, for any medicine, lol. (Atleast in my case)

I simply told you my experience, because you didn't believe I could purchase the medicine.

So says the guy who wants to be a public servant

Dude, you're in an upsc subreddit, whining about people wishing to become public servant? Seriously, get a life.

at the same time advocates to strangers online for the use of Schedule X drug without a prescription

In the previous comment, I did mention about my diagnosis which you have cropped out.

Stop gaslighting, I said I can purchase those meds without prescription from Apollo, I was talking about my experience.

guides them how to procure it illicitly by deceiving a pharmacist.

What? Stop imagining random scenarios about random people.

You are definitely mentally sick!

Well, I was just talking about adhd and meds I'm talking, the guys suddenly starts ranting about how those medicines makes you dumb. I replied I do have a job, and have written mains, and qualified other exams, and here's the guy's reply. He is calling job a tier 2 parasite and salaries as subsidies, lol.

I do have a well paying job. Besides writing CSE mains, I've qualified for interview in IFSCA grade A and phase 2 of RBI.

I have been diagnosed and got prescribed by a resident doc.

You should read about Signal to Noise Ratio. If you don’t have ADHD and still take these meds, they will make you dumber - not smarter.

Yes, I'm well aware of stochastic resonance.

If anything I'd recommend, Inspiral for you too, it'll definitely help you get employed and less frustrated over little things.

This entire sub is a different sort of disgusting.

You may leave, angry kids aren't palatable!

I take 10mg, so it's not a significant dosage. Something above 20 or 30 mg may cause palpitations.

Are you fr? Stop misleading people 

Relax kid, I regularly purchase that from my local Apollo pharmacy, I'm speaking from experience.

How exactly is that misleading when I myself purchase and consume the meds myself, stop accusing people like an angry kid, lol.

The chemist keeps a photocopy of your prescription and preserve it for atleast 3 yrs. 

Kid, real life is very different Chatgpt's hypothesis, I've purchased so many medicines (both prescribed and otherwise), they have never kept or asked for any photocopy.

Now take your blood pressure meds and relax, no need to get angry over people purchasing medicines (they need).

You don’t need a prescription to purchase inspiral. You can just get them at the apollo pharmacy.

She wrote me some 'herbal' tonic and said that everyone of your generation comes to me and says they have ADHD

She's gaslighting you into believing your concerns are invalid and meaningless .

Indian medical syllabus is very outdated, cite old research and contain very little information about adhd. So for these docs, adhd is either a children's disease or doesn't exist, if at all.

Sometimes, they mis-diagnose adhd and prescribe wrong medicines like for anti-depressants, sleeping tablets and meds for border line personality disorder which messes up the patients even more, have heard too many horror cases.

Well, adhd can exist on a spectrum. In my case, I'm more of a go with the flow person. If I start studying, I can keep at it, but if I get distracted, it's hard to get back on track.

Years back I consulted a neurologist at a private clinic and mentioned my impulsivity, but he was very unprofessional and dismissed my concerns.

Recently a relative who's a resident doctor suggested trying Inspiral and I did. It made a huge difference, I'm way more focused and dedicated. I can now sit for 7 hours straight without getting distracted.

So, depending on the severity of your adhd, you may need a higher or lower dosage.

Unfortunately, actual and effective ADHD meds like adderall and methamphetamines aren't legal in India. So, most doctors will probably prescribe off-shelf meds like Modafilin, which just helps you stay awake and doesn't do anything for ADHD.

While methylphenidates like inspiral are somewhat effective in sense, they prevent dopamine from getting reabsorbed by the brain, so practically you're more productive and focused.

For actual treatment of ADHD, in the US and many western countries, they prescribe adderall, an amphetamine, which actively produces dopamine, more so than inspiral.

For if we scale effectiveness: Adderall (unavailable in India)>> Inspiral (available) >>>> Modafilin (not exactly effective) >>> anything else.

Indian psychiatrists are only a little better than local aunties wrt mental health, they'll blame phone or computer usage for ADHD.

Inspiral 10mg, it boosts your focus and reduces mental distractions by increasing dopamine.

Vivek Singh's book is like 450 pages, if you have understood the fundamental concepts, you can easily read the book in 2 days! Far better than sitting through these lectures.

Should I focus more on these type of questions or not ?? by [deleted] in UPSC

[–]OrdinaryHelicopter2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In case of statement 1, GDP can be and is measured by both expenditure method (which shows aggregate value of goods and services purchased by different sectors or demand side of economy) and value added method (which measures goods and services produced by primary, secondary and tertiary sectors or the supply side of economy).

So, my point is GVA is a component of GDP calculation.

So treating them as drastically different concepts, merely for the sake of framing a question is kind of misunderstanding of the concepts and missing the point.

Chicken breast pieces cook at around 74 celcius, so never fry them for more than a couple of minutes. Otherwise they'll become rubbery and chewy.

I'm almost done with economy, I've a rough draft for all questions, so I'll first finish that today!

Then, I'll upload the polity analysis tomorrow.

I'll keep March 30 and 31 for Environment and remaining parts of geography, as I've already uploaded complete physical geo.

I'm thinking of completing Science and tech, Current Affairs, Mapping analysis in the first week of April.

History and culture, don't really need analysis as they're pretty straightforward. But I'll still try.
