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.

Maybe you did the ecstasy because you had anxiety problems to try to self-medicate. Difficulty concentrating is a sign of stress and/or depression.
Research studies on ecstasy. They used to say, in early 2000, that it caused all this brain damage. Now they are retracting those statements, it isn't as harmful as they thought.
They are even giving ecstasy to patients in the US by a government approved study in 2003. It is being done by psychiatrists to treat patients with anxiety! How about that?

Hang in there, Rick...
Your brain will go back to normal, but it sounds like you might be having some sort of withdrawl symptoms. They'll go away, but if it gets too bad, call a doctor or go to the ER.
In the mean time, drink lots of water, take a few aspirin, and you're going to have to just fight through it.

Sad to say that I have seen scans of brains where ecstasy has left big holes in the grey matter.
Hopefully it is withdrawal as some people have suggested. Please avoid any further drugs or alcohol. Stay well hydrated, get a lot of sleep and some exercise.
As they say...see your doctor if symptoms persist.

probably not its probably just a short term thing that will go on for a few days. If you continue taking x, it might result in some brain damage though

This is not uncommon for someone taking heavy does' of X. Its temporary. Like withdrawls, lots of users claim severe depression that occurs weeks later.
Hope you will be better soon.

Yeah, dude, it has. My best friend's a weed addict and was addicted to X during high school. He can't even remember which teachers or people we knew back in grade school. We're both 24 now.

Defiantly need to see a Neurologist, please tell him what you have taken, you need medication to prevent permanent damage. Please!!, don't be afraid to go to the doctor, and tell the truth, your brain is too important, I hope you take this advise seriously.
