If you are worried a family member or loved one may be using ecstasy, they may not be honest about the use or admit to having an addiction. Most ecstasy is consumed at large raves, concerts, or festivals as a party drug. You may have to look for signs and symptoms of the drug abuse. Looking for the pills is probably the easiest. Other things may be unawareness of pain, irregular sleeping schedule, exaggerated pleasure from touch, and overly sensitive to music or lights.

Ecstasy is one of the most popular drugs used among today’s youth. It is a designer drug that was originally developed by a pharmaceutical company, in its original form it is referred to as MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine). Ecstasy nowadays generally contains very little MDMA and more of a mixture of other additives.
Less than 10% of Ecstasy pills on the market are pure MDMA. The other substances in “ecstasy” can be amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, heroin, rat poison, dog deworming medications, or caffeine. Despite the color of the pill and the logo on the pill, users never really know what they are ingesting. Users have to continually increase the number of pills and dosage to feel the same effect. However, because the pills can look similar, and in fact be a completely different combination of drugs, overdose is very likely.

It is often mixed with other party drugs. It is called a club drug and often used at parties, raves, nightclubs, festivals, and concerts. It is also referred to as “the love pill” because it heightens perceptions of color, sound, and supposedly amplifies sensations when one touches or caresses another, particularly during intercourse. Most ecstasy contains hallucinogens which can cause the user to see or feel things that aren’t actually there. It is an emotionally damaging drug and users often cope with “coming down” off the high by using other drugs like cocaine or heroin. The more ecstasy one uses the harder the “come down.” MDMA use damages the brain’s serotonin neurons which regulate sleep, mood, memory, and appetite.
Ecstasy smothers the natural alarm signals given out by the body, putting the user at risk for pushing their body beyond its physical limitations. It suppresses the need to drink, eat, and sleep. The high can last for several hours. Users may not notice they are overheating which can cause fainting, liver failure, kidney failure, heart failure, or death by heatstroke. It can also cause the user to become severely dehydrated, exhausted, or have a heart attack. An overdose is characterized by high blood pressure, panic attacks, faintness, loss of consciousness, a drastic rise in body temperature, and seizures. Another concern is hyponatremia or the over consumption of water that causes the sodium in blood to dilute to dangerously low levels.
