When using for the first time ecstasy the user has a feeling of well being, euphoria, and he will continue to use it hoping that he will recreate the good feelings from the first time. He will very soon realize that this thing is impossible, so he will increase the amount of drug and the frequency.

Unfortunately, a higher dose of ecstasy will never bring back the first time feeling, instead the user goes slowly to addiction, implicitly at tolerance. And from here to overdose is a small step. An ecstasy overdose leads to panic attack and increased body temperature and heart beats. Heat stroke is a definite possibility.

Ecstasy is not physically addictive in the way that drugs like cocaine, nicotine and heroin are. Many users are,

however, addicted to the emotional state they reach on the drug. Some feel they cannot live without it and

become regular weekly users.

Many ecstasy users know deep in their heart that they cannot go without ecstasy in the future, but they don’t like to admit to it in terms of addiction. Frequent ecstasy use increases tolerance very quickly. Increasingly higher doses are needed to reach an “acceptable” high. The more you use it the less you feel the loved up empathic feelings and the more the speedy amphetamine buzz takes over.

Regular users rarely come close to the novelty and surprise of first discovering the ecstasy state. To avoid the

build-up of tolerance long breaks should be left between use, at least two months.

The after-effects and long-term effects seem a little hushed up, often by the users themselves. The majority of regular users try to ignore the increases in tolerance, the harder come-downs, the mood swings, the short-term memory loss, the inability to concentrate and just see it as an acceptable price to pay.

We strongly recommend to everyone reading this article to stay out of ecstasy abuse, however, if you or someone close to you have problems with ecstasy addiction, we suggest you to visit Drug Rehab Treatment Centers in Canada.
