What is Ecstasy?

Ecstasy is a psychoactive drug known for its stimulant and hallucinogen effects. It is an illegal, potentially addictive drug, and its use can cause long-term effects on the brain. The use of this drug can lead to hyperthermia or severely elevated core body temperature. People under the influence of Ecstasy experiencing hyperthermia often consume a dangerous amount of water. It is typical for someone who uses Ecstasy to experience depression two days post use and will experience withdrawal symptoms as well. Repeated use of this drug can lead to permanent memory impairment. The typical use of MDMA is oral, usually in a tablet, pill or capsule, and ecstasy effects last approximately 3 to 6 hours. Most users take a second dose of the drug as the effects of the first dose begin to fade. The short-term effects are a combination of positive and negative experiences, manifested during and after the drug wears off. Originally, ecstasy was developed and patented as an appetite suppressant. In the U.S. it was used as a possible aid to psychotherapy but was used without the support of clinical trial research or FDA approval.
