Long and Short Term Effects of Ecstasy

The National Drug Abuse Laboratory defines Drug Ecstasy (MDMA) as a synthetic psychoactive drug with a chemical composition similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and hallucinogen muscarin. The clinical name of drug is MDMA (3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine). Although psychoactive drugs are thought to be drugs that change their mindset, the chemical structure of MDMA is similar to other synthetic drugs known to cause brain damage. Ecstasy was not illegal until 1985, but most studies showed that its first use is an appetite suppressant developed by German pharmaceutical company Merck in 1912.

There are many short-term and long-term side effects by using Ecstasy. Short-term effects include mandibular occlusion and molars, irritation, headache, vomiting, panic, anxiety, convulsions, heart attacks, brain injury, fatigue, dehydration symptoms and heat stroke. (Charmichael 64) The use of ecstasy also causes euphoria, emotion, happiness, emotional and psychological clarity, increased energy, increased sensation sensitivity, and increased sexual desire. At high doses, it can cause irrational behavior including hallucinations, emotions, dullness and flotation, depression and paranoia, and violence. It may also cause up to 2 weeks of MDMA depression after using ecstasy. Symptoms used include rapid heartbeat, enlargement of the pupil, distraction of attention, confusion and the like.

Ecstasy: The short term effect of ecstasy lasts 4 to 6 hours. Psychological effects include confusion, depression, anxiety, insomnia, drug use and paranoia. Physical influences include chin of the jaw, muscle tension, nausea, blurred vision, weak sensation, sudden eye movements, perspiration and the like. Unfortunately, since this drug has just recently been introduced to the world of medicine, little is known about the long-term effects. Indeed, this medicine will bring some important long-term effects.

Opioids and morphine derivatives, also known as analgesics, have many short- and long-term effects that are detrimental to human health. Short-term effects of these medications include lethargy, slow breathing, constipation, coma, coma and nausea. Continued use or long-term use of drugs can lead to physical dependence and increase. If you use these medicines for a long time, your body may adapt to these medications. An anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, hot flashes, muscle pain, bone pain may occur when you withdraw. In addition, continued use of morphine drugs may lead to physical tolerance. In other words, if you do not increase the dose in order to obtain the desired effect, the body can not function, it can become poisoned and lead to theft. Opioids and morphine may die at high doses.
