Understanding Ecstasy Addiction and the Drugs Involved
Designer club drugs have a multitude of common street names. These can include:
- XTC
- Ecstasy
- GO
- X
- Adam
- Hug Drug
All of these names are indicative of a single type of drug known as methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA.
Signs You May Need Ecstasy Addiction Treatment
Ecstasy and other club drugs are stimulants that produce psychedelic effects which can last between 4 and 6 hours. Typical effects of Ecstasy use include:
- Confusion
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Sleeplessness
- Paranoia
- Increased cravings for the drug
Ecstasy is usually taken orally in pill form and has become a popular fixture in the club lifestyle in recent years. However, recent research indicates that the use of Ecstasy and other club drugs is moving to settings other than nightclubs, such as private homes, high schools or college dorms. While Ecstasy addiction is not a physically-disabling addiction, the health complications that can arise from using the drug can be very serious. Such health problems can include:
- Muscle tension
- Involuntary teeth clenching
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
- Lightheadedness
- Tremors
- Rapid eye movements
- Dehydration
- Hyperthermia
- Profuse sweating or chills
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
In addition to these complications, use of Ecstasy addiction can increase the risk of circulatory problems, cardiovascular problems, kidney failure, loss of memory function and the depletion of neurotransmitters in the brain. Ecstasy and other club drugs are not approved by the FDA, making them even more dangerous as the user often has no idea what substances the drugs are actually made from.
