they had you on buproprion for ADD? That's interesting. I am on it as a booster to my anti depressant/anxiety meds (lexapro) and they said it might help a bit with the ADD (though i havne't noticed it doing so) but i'm on concerta for the ADD itself. I hope the strattera works better for you!!
I never had brain function so for me it hasn't really been lost, but i am acutely aware of all that i lack and it hurts me horribly when i think of it too. I first realized i might have ADD when i was 24 and literally it was just an internet add that says "have ADD?" and i always joked about having it, but for some reason at that moment i was like "Wait. i wonder if this might legitimately be a thing for me." and turns out i had 17 of the 18 diagnostic criterea. i criiiiiiiiiied! it was SUCH A RELIEF to have some reason, some concrete thing to point to as to why my brain doesn't function correctly.
Its SO nice to have a psych who listens! yay for that!

I'm sorry about the job, but at least they got back to you with a reasonable explanation. Hopefully something else will come along very soon.

You've inspired me to write back to interview my interviewers with suggestions to improve my portfolio, although it's been a while.
