Elizabeth Wurtzel published her memoir of depression, Prozac Nation,
to astonishing literary acclaim. A cultural phenomenon by age 26, she
had fame, money, respect.everything she had always wanted except that
one, true thing: happiness.

For all of her professional success, Wurtzel felt like a failure. She
had lost friends and lovers, every magazine job she'd held, and way
too much weight. She couldn't write, and her second book was past due.
But when her doctor prescribed Ritalin to help her focus.and boost the
effects of her antidepressants.Wurtzel was spared. The Ritalin worked.
And worked. The pills became her sugar...the sweetness in the days that
have none. Soon she began grinding up the Ritalin and snorting it.
Then came the cocaine, then more Ritalin, then more cocaine. "Then I
need more. I always need more. For all of my life I have needed more..."

More, Now, Again is the brutally honest, often painful account of
Wurtzel's descent into drug addiction. It is also a love story: How
Wurtzel managed to break free of her relationship with Ritalin and
learned to love life, and herself, is at the heart of this ultimately
uplifting memoir that no reader will soon forget.
