| | Ecstasy (drug) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The use of ecstasy can be very dangerous when combined with other drugs (particularly monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and antiretroviral drugs). | | | Long-term effects in humans are largely unknown and the subject of much controversy —particularly with regard to the risks of severe long-term depression as a result of a reduction in the natural production of serotonin. | | | Ecstasy affects the regulation of the body's internal systems. |

| | Ecstasy |
| | Ecstasy when taking on the form of rapture is frequently accompanied by a "carrying-away" sensation (related in its concrete form to levitation of the body). | | | Ecstasy is said to be a psycho-physical condition that accompanies the apprehension of what one personally experiences as the ultimate reality. | | | Ecstasies are said to be distinct from fantasies, which are also pleasant experiences, but are more imagined than real. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Special reports Ecstasy not dangerous, say scientists |
| | Three leading psychologists have provoked an outcry by claiming that the dance drug ecstasy may not be dangerous and that some of its ill-effects may be imaginary. | | | Three other ecstasy experts writing in the Psychologist dismissed the notion that symptoms of long-term ecstasy use were all in the mind. | | | But the changes observed involved the degeneration of nerve fibres, which can be regrown, and not the cell bodies themselves, the psychologists say. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecstasy |
| | The first three errors here mentioned are psychological in nature; they fail to estimate at its proper value the content of ecstasy; the other false theories spoken of identify this state with certain morbid physical or psychological conditions. | | | From a threefold point of view, then, there is a contrast between their case and that of the saints who have been granted ecstasies. | | | They no longer endeavour, as did their predecessors of the eighteenth century, to explain them away as grounded on fraud; several, indeed, abandoning the pathological theory, current in the nineteenth century, have advocated the psychological explanation, though they exaggerate its force. |

| | BASIC FACTS ABOUT DRUGS |
| | Use of Ecstasy depletes serotonin, a very important chemical in the brain which regulates mood, sleeping and eating habits, as well as, the thinking and behavior process, sexual function, and sensitivity to pain. | | | Ecstasy is similar (in nature) to other amphetamines and hallucinogens. | | | In a study published in the May 1, 2001 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, results showed that exposure (of rats) to Ecstasy caused memory and learning deficiencies to the unborn rat. |

| | village voice > news > The Ecstasy Factor by Carla Spartos |
| | Ecstasy promotes strong feelings of empathy by flooding the brain with serotonin, a feel-good neurotransmitter manipulated by drugs like Prozac. | | | On February 24, the DEA issued Dr. Michael Mithoefer a Schedule I license to legally obtain Ecstasy for a study of its potential therapeutic effects in the treatment of PTSD. | | | Another consequence of the retracted study and other discredited NIDA-funded findings is that they've helped obstruct legitimate research into the possible medical benefits of Ecstasy. |

| | "The Agony of Ecstasy" by Benjamin Wallace-Wells |
| | Those were Ecstasy's early days, when psychologists were still trumpeting the drug's potential as a therapeutic aid (those trumpets have since faded) and it was mostly discussed as part of the rave culture--a culture which psychologists and cops alike regarded with the bewildered, an-thropological interest of Stanley peering into the Congo for the first time. | | | And Ecstasy might not be as harmless as its advocates seem to think. | | | But it is becoming a drug controlled by violent, professional drug traffickers, who routinely mix the drug with more dangerous, addictive--and, hence, profitable--substances, and who aim to convert today's Ecstasy users into tomorrow's crackheads, to turn Ecstasy into what it has not yet become: A gateway drug. |

| | The article was countered by three other Ecstasy experts writing in The Psychologist, who dismissed the idea that Ecstasy's symptoms were imaginary. | | | "We are concerned that the long-term effects of Ecstasy could be iatrogenic because researchers and the media are discussing a hypothesised cause-and-effect relationship as if it were fact," they wrote. | | | Michael Morgan, senior lecturer in experimental psychology at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, said he had found "overwhelming evidence" that regular Ecstasy use causes impulsive behaviour and impaired verbal memory. |

| | Ecstasy is a powerful stimulant and mood changer that speeds up your body system and alters your perception of the world. | | | Although it's true to say that E is a comparably safe drug, in 1999, Ecstasy was mentioned on 26 UK death certificates in 1999 (although on most of these other drugs were listed too). | | | Health risks: There has been much hysterical speculation about the dangers of taking Ecstasy, and although the vast majority of these articles seem more interested in pursuing a moral agenda than dealing with the health issues, it's important to recognise that there are some risks involved. |
