Side Effects
Like any drug, ecstasy can produce unexpected side effects. Some physiological effects of the drug include the following: Nausea Hallucinations Sweating and chills Fever Shaking and tremors Muscle cramping Blurred vision The side effects of ecstasy overdose are more extreme.
These symptoms merit immediate medical treatment: High blood pressure Lightheadedness Panic attacks Seizures Loss of consciousness Extreme increase in body temperature At its most extreme, ecstasy overdose may cause death by heat stroke and heart failure. Because it masks the need for food, water and rest, this substance has also been implicated in dehydration and exhaustion. Long Term Effects of Ecstasy While research on the long term effect of ecstasy is ongoing, certain traits are shared by regular users. For example, a 1998 study asserted that irreparable damage to serotonin neurotransmitters was observed in a subject group of users.
Since serotonin levels affect learning, sleep and emotional processes, such damage can leave users severely impaired. Without proper functioning of the neurotransmitters, conditions such as depression, anxiety and memory loss are much more likely to occur. Of course, continued use can also bring about an addiction.
