I have eaten alot of ecstasy in my life. What do I have to worry about?

Answer 1

Regular use of ecstasy can lead to psychological dependence (when you feel you cannot do without something), sleep problems, lethargy and severe depression. There is also a danger of over heating and dehydration.

The more you take ecstasy, the more you’ll need to take to have the same effect, as you will build up a tolerance to it. No one yet knows the possible long term effects of regularly taking ecstasy, though it will increase the risk of you suffering long-term paranoia or psychosis. Recent research suggests it could cause liver and kidney problems.

Answer 2

Before I can tell you what it will do to you, you first need to understand hoe ecstasy works on your body.

There is a chemical in your brain called serotonin that causes happiness and a general feeling of well being. What x does to you is when you take it, it drains your serotonin levels giving you an extremely happy feeling for a while. The only problem with this is that serotonin doesnt come back once you use it the way x does, so every time you take that drug it takes out a little more and a little more. Think of it as a bathtub. At first its filled with water, but when you take x you take a glass out. Eventually, there will be no more water. So what x does is slowly make you more and more depressed. Long term x users have such little serotonin left that they quite literally act like zombies and have no ablity to feel happy anymore, even while taking the drug.

So what should you expect? You will never feel as happy as you did before you tried the drug. I'm not talking about extremely happy moments, but you wont feel overall as happy as you did before. Serotonin causes other things, such as feelings of love. So you will not be able to love like you did before. Imagine all the good feelings in life, all of them will not be as good as they were. You will get used to it, but everything wont be as exciting.

I sugguest that you see a psychitrist right away and tell them this. You might need drugs later on that will keep the serotonin levels that you have now in longer.

Answer 3

My glib answer would be... you have nothing to worry about because you probably don't have enough brain cells left to worry with. But I would never let that be my real answer, because I'm not mean.

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 risks users face with Ecstasy use are similar to those found with the use of cocaine and amphetamines:

Psychological difficulties, including confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug craving, severe anxiety, and paranoia - during and sometimes weeks after taking Ecstasy.
Physical symptoms 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.

Answer 4

Probably permanent brain damage, as with all drug use. Even if drug use doesn't dominate your life to the point of stealing to maintain the habit, brain cells are destroyed each time a high is obtained. It may not even be felt initially, but chronic drug users tend to display a huge lack of awareness. Their speech can be slow, and their vocabulary is sometimes super-simplistic, like a child. The '80s commercials about comparing drug use to an egg in a frying pan are apt. Drugs corrode the brain, kinda like Mad Cow disease. If you stop right now there is the chance of avoiding extended consequences.

Answer 5

Mental disorders like schizophrenia or other psychosis. Insomnia is very common amoungst heavy extasy users. Depression is also common, as Extasy destroys the brain's ability to produce seratonin, which is the hormone associated with happy feelings and joy.

Heavy users of extasy don't usually have a problem with bone denisity (that is common in heavy meth use).

Answer 6

Unfortunately, even though versions of it have been around for years, The stuff that gets passed around now changes with every batch. So no one really knows the long term side effects. But I am expecting in about 30 years alot of old ate-ups in institutions.

Answer 7

Have you tried sugar free ecstasy? It has half the calories of regular ecstasy yet it tastes just as good.

Answer 8

Public condemnation, spinal problems, bad reputation ruining any future political career. Oh, and too much trance music forever on your mind. Check out the link below for a good source for all drug info.

Answer 9

It depends on if you have stopped or not. If you haven't, I would say you have quitting to worry about. What you did yesterday doesn't always matter as much as what you do tomorrow. Good luck with the rest of your life.

Answer 10

You can still turn on a computer and type a question. That means you're not brain dead. Just very very stupid for taking drugs. Yes ECTSTASY IS A DRUG!!! Stop now and you may come to be able to pee by yourself again.
