This New York Times Magazine article, "Self Non-Medication," is one of the best examples of science journalism I have seen in quite some time. It is a personal story of a man trying to go off of depression medicine, which I should note is not at all necessarily reflective of ADD medicine. What is great is the mix of personal and science. It is an interesting look at the quesiton of taking medicine, though admittedly for a different disorder.
It's a bit long but well worth the read.
Enjoy.

thanks for posting this. I never read it when it was published and I'm glad I have now. Definitely agree that it's a great example of explaining something scientific through a personal narrative.
