I recently read Drugged by Richard J. Miller and found it to be as riveting as it was informative. Highly recommended. Really does a fantastic job tracing the development of modern-day antipsychotic/antidepressant drugs from their early beginnings in the chemical dye industry. Also has a nice overview of GABAergic drug development/research from the perspective of the pharmaceutical industry. Fascinating stuff.
For a drier but more far-reaching academic account of the history of drugs, I recommend The Pursuit of Oblivion by Richard Davenport-Hines.
I enjoyed Drugged (http://www.amazon.com/Drugged-Science-Culture-Behind-Psychotropic/dp/0199957975) for a not-super-heavy book on these drugs. The author crafts everything into being very story like and it flows well.
