Effects

• MDMA makes users feel energised, alert and alive, 'in tune' with their surroundings, and can make music and colours more intense. Users often report temporary feelings of love and affection for the people they're with and for the strangers around them. Lots of people feel really chatty on E., although these chats don't always make sense to people who aren't on an E.
• Short-term side effects can include: feelings of dizziness, increased heart rate, raised body temperature, sweating and nausea. Also possible: decreased appetite and sense of tiredness, dilated pupils, changes in seeing and hearing abilities, jaw cramping (gnashing teeth), strong thirst which should be taken care of to avoid overheating (hyperthermia). Dehydration can be fatal.
• Risks: cardiovascular collapse through overexertion and lack of oxygen, kidneys and liver failure: in acute cases, get emergency care immediately! After the effects have worn off you may get an 'ecstasy hangover' (depression, more easily frustrated, fear). Long-term consumption can increase/strengthen the side effects for users. Building tolerance: losing the high with higher doses (1-2 month break from usage is necessary). Weight loss due to malnourishment can come from a loss of appetite, liver and kidney damage from not drinking enough water.
• Choosing sex partners on MDMA can lead to regret and unprotected sex if condoms are not available. The alteration of the judgment under MDMA leads to questioning the consent of the partners involved. The effects of MDMA can cause erectile dysfunction and vaginal dryness.
