What are its overdose effects?
In high doses, MDMA can interfere with the body’s ability to regulate temperature. On occasions, this can lead to a sharp increase in body temperature (hyperthermia), resulting in liver, kidney, or cardiovascular system failure, swelling of the brain, and even death. Furthermore, repeated use of MDMA over a short period of time may lead to potentially harmful concentrations of MDMA within the body due to the complex metabolism of MDMA.
What is MDMA
MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is an illegal drug that can give you a euphoric rush (intense feeling of happiness).
It’s a central nervous system stimulant which causes high levels of dopamine to be released. Dopamine is a brain chemical associated with pleasure and reward.
MDMA is the main ingredient in ecstasy. Ecstasy is usually sold as coloured pills. They often have brand logos stamped or drawn on them.
These pills might contain some MDMA or none at all. Even 2 pills that look the same might contain different ingredients. MDMA can also come as a powder or crystal.
