  • Ecstacy unfortunately has a lot of reprucutions actually. It can really fuck your body up, but not from just one time. Your shouldn't be to effected if any at all by just one time. I've done it plenty of times and dont have any side effects to this day... what got me was the shrooms :)
  • are you a woman? females have the ability to reproduce so anything that you ingest can be stored in ur body for a long timwe and be released all at once. the female body is a nut storer and almost always put a portion of anything ingested away in the body if u still have rpoblems go see a Dr.
  • I would say using a drug once does not lead to any permanent damage at all.You might be more aware of your body and attributing it to your use of ecstasy just one time.I would say long continual use could possibly cause problems,not just once.
  • The side effects of ecstasy are very broad and I have listed some of them for you below: Ecstasy Side Effects Brain imaging research in humans indicates that Ecstasy causes injury to the brain, affecting neurons that use the chemical serotonin to communicate with other neurons. The serotonin system plays a direct role in regulating mood, aggression, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain. Many of the side effects users face with Ecstasy use are similar to those found with the use of cocaine and amphetamines: Psychological Ecstasy side effects, including confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug craving, severe anxiety, and paranoia - during and sometimes weeks after taking Ecstasy. Physical Ecstasy side effects such as muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, rapid eye movement, faintness, and chills or sweating. Increases in heart rate and blood pressure, a special risk for people with circulatory or heart disease. Also, there is evidence that people who develop a rash that looks like acne after using Ecstasy may be risking severe side effects, including liver damage, if they continue to use the drug. Research links Ecstasy use to long-term damage to those parts of the brain critical to thought and memory. One study, in primates, showed that exposure to Ecstasy for 4 days caused brain damage that was evident 6 to 7 years later. MDA, the parent drug of MDMA (Ecstasy), is an amphetamine-like drug that has also been abused and is similar in chemical structure to Ecstasy. Research shows that MDA also destroys serotonin-producing neurons in the brain. Ecstasy also is related in its structure and effects to methamphetamine, which has been shown to cause degeneration of neurons containing the neurotransmitter dopamine. Damage to these neurons is the underlying cause of the motor disturbances seen in Parkinson's disease. Symptoms of this disease begin with lack of coordination and tremors and can eventually result in a form of paralysis. The Short-Term Side Effects of Ecstasy While it is not as addictive as heroin or cocaine, ecstasy can cause other adverse effects including nausea, hallucinations, chills, sweating, increases in body temperature, tremors, involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramping, and blurred vision. Ecstasy users also report after-effects of anxiety, paranoia, and depression. Short-term side effects of ecstasy * Nausea * Hallucinations * Chills & sweating * Increased body temp * Tremors * Muscle cramping * Blurred vision The effects start after about 20 minutes and can last for hours. These is a 'rush' feeling followed by a feeling of calm and a sense of well being to those around, often with a heightened perception of color and sound. Some people actually feel sick and experience a stiffening up of arms, legs and particularly the jaw along with sensations of thirst, sleeplessness, depression and paranoia. Gives a feeling of energy. Some mild hallucinogenic effects. Ecstasy's chemical cousin, MDA, destroys cells that produce serotonin in the brain. These cells play a direct roll in regulating aggression, mood, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain. Methamphetamine, also similar to Ecstasy, damages brain cells that produce dopamine. Scientists have now shown that ecstasy not only makes the brain's nerve branches and endings degenerate, but also makes them "re-grow, but abnormally - failing to reconnect with some brain areas and connecting elsewhere with the wrong areas. These reconnections may be permanent, resulting in cognitive impairments, changes in emotion, learning, memory, or hormone-like chemical abnormalities. Long-Term Side Effects of Ecstasy The side effects of long-term ecstasy use are just beginning to undergo scientific analysis. In 1998, the National Institute of Mental Health conducted a study of a small group of habitual ecstasy users who were abstaining from use. The study revealed that the abstinent users suffered damage to the neurons in the brain that transmit serotonin, an important biochemical involved in a variety of critical functions including learning, sleep, and integration of emotion. The results of the study indicate that recreational ecstasy users may be at risk of developing permanent brain damage that may manifest itself in depression, anxiety, memory loss, and other neuropsychotic disorders. Ecstasy study shock REGULAR users of the party drug ecstasy suffer confusion and blurred vision, a groundbreaking study has found. Turning Point drug and alcohol clinic interviewed 100 regular ecstasy users aged 17 to 45 for the study. All of those surveyed had lived in Melbourne for the past 12 months and had taken ecstasy at least once a month during the previous six months. The survey reported that 84 per cent suffered confusion, 73 per cent appetite loss, and 66 per cent were affected by blurred vision. It also found that 36 per cent of the users had taken the drug once a week during the six-month period. Users reported financial problems (39 per cent), relationship or social problems (39 per cent), and occupational and study problems (38 per cent). The Turning Point interviews were conducted face-to-face with the 100 volunteers. Turning Point researcher Jennifer Richards said 56 per cent of the people surveyed were employed. "Another 18 per cent were full-time students at high schools or universities. "We found that 41 per cent of the people surveyed had a tertiary education," she said. Ms Richards said the interviews were part of a national survey on ecstasy use. She said Turning Point had recruited people for the survey through websites and posters placed in bars, music shops, and cafes. According to the respected Australian Drug Guide ecstasy "confers a sense of euphoria, intimacy with others and self-revelation, and intensifies colour and other perceptions". Turning Point will conduct Melbourne surveys of other types of drug use, beginning with methamphetamine (speed) and cocaine. Ms Richards said the results would be used to assess health risks, monitor trends, and determine the health and education services needed to support drug users.
