MDMA (Ecstasy) Test Cost & Procedure

Describe Ecstasy? It is a drug that is illegal but has energizing effects, distorts time and perception, and makes tactile experiences more enjoyable. It also has stimulating and hallucinogenic effects.

Symptoms

Almost 60% of ecstasy users list the following withdrawal symptoms:

• Fatigue
• Reduced appetite
• Depressive emotions
• Difficulty concentrating

This drug, often known as MDMA or Molly, is neurotoxic and may have an effect on the brain, according to research in animals. Ecstasy may raise the risk of long-term or permanent memory loss and learning difficulties, according to clinical studies.

What occurs to your body when you use ecstasy?

On some types of cognitive or memory activities, chronic ecstasy users perform worse than nonusers. Among other things, using other drugs in addition to ecstasy may contribute to some of these consequences. Heavy ecstasy use may, according to research, lead to enduring memory issues in people, however the results are mixed.

Impacts on the body

Ecstasy can hinder the body's capacity to control temperature when consumed in large doses. It is possible to dehydrate. Rarely but unpredictably, this can result in hyperthermia, which can cause organ failure in the liver, kidneys, and cardiovascular system as well as death.

Drugs can be used repeatedly within short periods of time to reach potentially hazardous levels because they can interfere with their own metabolism (breakdown within the body).

Effects on the mind

Confusion, melancholy, restless nights, cravings for drugs, and extreme anxiety are just a few examples of psychological impacts. These issues may manifest both while using ecstasy and for several days or weeks later.

Neurotoxicity

Ecstasy exposure has been linked in animal studies to long-term damage to the neurons that control mood, thinking, and judgment. According to a study done on nonhuman primates, serotonin nerve terminals exposed to the substance for just four days experienced harm that became apparent six to seven years later.

Although definitive evidence of a similar neurotoxicity in humans has not been found, the abundance of animal studies on the chemical's harmful qualities implies that it is not a substance that is safe for human intake.
