Elizabeth Wurtzel published her memoir of depression Prozac Nation to astonishing literary acclaim. A cultural phenomenon by age twenty-six 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 survival 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.
