  • Dopamine—produces increased energy/activity and acts in the reward system to reinforce behaviors
  • Norepinephrine—increases heart rate and blood pressure, which are particularly risky for people with heart and blood vessel problems
  • Serotonin—affects mood, appetite, sleep, and other functions. It also triggers hormones that affect sexual arousal and trust. The release of large amounts of serotonin likely causes the emotional closeness, elevated mood, and empathy felt by those who use MDMA.
Other health effects include:

  • nausea
  • muscle cramping
  • involuntary teeth clenching
  • blurred vision
  • chills
  • sweating

  • irritability
  • impulsiveness and aggression
  • depression
  • sleep problems
  • anxiety
  • memory and attention problems
  • decreased appetite
High doses of MDMA can affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature. This can lead to a spike in body temperature that can occasionally result in liver, kidney, or heart failure or even death.

In addition, because MDMA can promote trust and closeness, its use—especially combined with sildenafil (Viagra®)—may encourage unsafe sexual behavior. This increases people's risk of contracting or transmitting HIV/AIDS or hepatitis.

Some psychiatrists believed that it enhanced communication in patient sessions and allowed patients to achieve insights about their problems. It was also during this time that MDMA started becoming more widely available on the street. In 1985, the DEA declared an emergency ban on MDMA, placing it on the list of Schedule I drugs, defined as substances with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. MDMA has remained a Schedule I substance since then, with the exception of a brief period of time between 1987 and 1988.
The evidence on MDMA’s therapeutic effects is limited thus far,39 although research is ongoing in this area. Proponents of MDMA-assisted therapy recommend that it only be used for reactive disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder because it can worsen some psychiatric conditions.40
In the early 1990s, the FDA approved the first human trial exploring whether MDMA could help relieve pain in terminally ill patients, as well as serve as an adjunct to psychotherapy.41Results from this study have not been published; however, these early studies helped establish safety parameters for administering MDMA to human participants in controlled, clinical settings. Clinical trials are ongoing to explore whether MDMA has therapeutic potential in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety in autistic adults and patients with a terminal illness such as cancer.

  • Molly and ecstasy are different forms of the drug MDMA.
  • MDMA acts as a stimulant and a psychedelic. It is typically used in social settings like raves and dance clubs.
  • The drug floods the brain with the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, making the user feel full of energy.
  • Molly is considered the “pure” form of MDMA. It is believed that no adulterants are added to the drug since it is a white powder and different colored stands can be detected. However, this claim is false.
  • MDPV, methylone, mephedrone and butylone can substitute and be sold as molly.
  • Even if molly is pure, it can cause elevated heart rates, distortion of thought processes and a rise in body temperature.
  • Combining MDMA with alcohol or other substances can cause seizures, hyperthermia, comas and cardiac arrest. MDMA can also deplete the body of neurotransmitters, which can lead to depression a day or two after abusing the drug.
  • Molly users tend to be between the ages of 16 to 24.
  • Ecstasy is a pressed pill that can have caffeine, cocaine, PCP, dextromethorphan (found in some cough syrups) and amphetamines added in, or substituted for MDMA.
  • In the United States, more than 12 million people have taken ecstasy.
  • According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network, there was a 123% increase in the number of emergency room visits involving MDMA from 2004 to 2009.
