Ecstasy Addiction

Effects of ecstasy
Ecstasy can affect the mind and body of an abuser. A relaxed cheerful mood and feelings, reduced concern, increased sensitivity and a high energy level are the positive effects of this drug. It suppresses appetite, thirst and the need to sleep.

Long term after effects of ecstasy include nervousness, paranoia and gloominess. This can be attributed to the decreased serotonin levels found in the brain for up to three weeks after their last dose. Use of ecstasy may severely damage the neurons in the brain that transmit seratonin. Even recreational use of the drug can cause permanent damage and lead to depression, anxiety, memory loss, and neuropsychotic disorders.

Symptoms of ecstasy addiction
Nausea, cold sweats, chills, hallucinations, increased body temperature, teeth clenching, tremors, double vision and muscle cramps are the common symptoms of Ecstasy addiction. Sleep problems, anxiety, and blurred vision are also seen among Ecstasy addiction.
