MDMA

MDMA releases a flood of serotonin, producing energy and closeness for a few hours. What is sold as molly is often something else entirely.

Also called: molly, ecstasy

Withdrawal is uncomfortable, usually safe

Signs it has become a problem

  • Using every weekend
  • Days of low mood afterward
  • Jaw clenching, poor sleep
  • Taking more to get the first feeling back

What withdrawal is like

Overdose and emergencies

Overheating is the killer: very high body temperature, confusion, seizures. Drinking too much water can also be dangerous. Cool down and call 911.

Dangerous combinations

Dangerous with many antidepressants. Pills and powder are frequently cut with meth or fentanyl.

What actually helps

Therapy, and attention to the depression or anxiety that often sits underneath.
