There is evidence that ecstasy use, especially chronic use, can impair user's ability to recall and memorize information.
Ecstasy use has been associated with cognitive deficits, particularly in memory and other cognitive functions. Studies suggest that heavy or long-term use of Ecstasy may lead to long-lasting cognitive impairments in some individuals. However, further research is needed to fully understand the effects of Ecstasy on intelligence scores.
The answer is maybe. It is still being debated in the scientific community as to whether MDMA causes long term memory damage. Some evidence says "yes", while some of it somes "no".
Especially when taken in excess, CNS depressants can cause confusion and dizziness, and impair judgment, memory, intellectual performance, and motor coordination.
it does no direct damage but affects mood, and memory
no, this is an urban myth. it was started by peoplemisinterpreting the procedure used in finding the effects of Ecstasy They would do a spinal tap to see if the Ecstasy effected certain parts of the body. This doesn't mean that its okay to use Ecstasy, because it does effect your brain, and can cause memory loss, severe brain damage and learning disorders.
I have sent text messages, postal mail messages, AIM and ICQ messages, Facebook and Myspace messages and voicemail messages while on Ecstasy. I do not see why this would impair this ability, unless it had a detrimental impact on your vision.

Ecstasy causes you to lose your short term memory, and you may not remember things or perform as well as you can without the drug.
Yes, Klonopin (clonazepam) can cause memory loss as a side effect, particularly with long-term use or at higher doses. Benzodiazepines like Klonopin can impair cognitive function and affect the formation of new memories. If you experience significant memory issues while taking Klonopin, it's important to consult your healthcare provider for evaluation and possible alternatives.
No.
Brain injury can impair short-term memory by damaging the structures involved in storing and processing new information. This can cause difficulties in remembering recent events, new learning, and focusing on tasks. The severity of the memory impairment depends on the location and extent of the brain injury.
