Elizabeth Wurtzel published her memoir of depression, Prozac Nation, to astonishing literary acclaim.

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.
