Reactions
Ecstacy creates feelings of well-being, energy and confidence. It also gives users a feeling of "personal insight". It is a Central Nervous System stimulant. Tolerance develops rapidly to the mental effects of Ecstacy. MDMA intensifies senses of touch and taste, and enhances interpersonal feelings. Use of ecstacy leads to an increase in activity, which in turn results in exhaustion and dehydration. Other effects include an increased heart rate, dry mouth and teeth grinding. Severe toxicities from MDMA include hyperthermia (overheating), paranoia, anxiety, panic, tachycardia, a breakdown of skeletal muscle, and kidney failure.
