Ecstasy (3, 4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) (MDMA) (also called Adam, E, X, eccie) is a synthetic, psychoactive drug with both stimulant and hallucinogenic properties similar to methamphetamine and mescaline

Adverse Effects Common adverse physical effects of MDMA include agitation, anxiety, tachycardia and hypertension; more serious adverse reactions include hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, renal failure, cardiac complications, intracranial hemorrhage, and hepatotoxicity [1, 2, 3]. Another term used to describe these adverse effects is “serotonin syndrome,” which is characterized by enhanced physical activity, sweating, lack of coordination, mental confusion, trismus, jaw clenching, agitation, hyperreflexia, hyperthermia, shivering, rhabdomyolysis, metabolic acidosis, myoclonus, tremor, and nystagmus [4].
