Seems like a very weak answer to me. You're not backing it up with anything really specific and your reply is not worth the $15.00 that I just spent. You didn't even begin to address the impact of the specific ingredients that I referenced. You didn't even bother to indicate whether Welbutrin contains any of the ingredients that I referenced. A study published April 18, 2016, by JAMA Neurology specifically states that depression medications containing the ingredients I referenced, were related to impaired short term memory performance, and potential future Alzheimer's disease. You should consult this study. Otherwise, your answer doesn't do me any good, and I'll need to go elsewhere to find the real answer.
Brief Answer:
Amount paid to me is USD 1.8, and not 15 USD
Detailed Answer:
You are welcome to consult any other doctor if you are not satisfied. However, I would like to rectify your mistaken belief- I as a neurologist would be paid only USD 1.8 (INR 120) and not USD 15, as you have mentioned. Also, as per the website policy, you can ask for full refund, if the answer is not as per your satisfaction.
