Why is the of drug abuse on dopamine particularly important?

A drug's action on dopamine is important because (to put it simply) release of dopamine/high levels of dopamine are behavior reinforcing, rewarding ("reward center" of your brain). If something you do (a behavior) has positive/beneficial/enjoyable results, then you are likely to repeat that behavior. This is key to the basis of addiction-the foundation for the subsequently altered brain pathways are being laid out as you habitually use a drug, over and over...you eventually are caught in the vicious cycle of abuse.

How are the neurotransmitters effected by ecstasy?

Ecstasy is mostly know for increasing Serotonin levels in the synapse which it does the most. It also increases levels of dopamine, monoamine, and norepinephrine. Serotonin is associated with your mood/emotions, sleep and appetite. Antidepressant drugs ussually target and increase serotonin levels as people who are depressed have low serotonin levels. This is why ecstasy makes you happy and loving when you take it. Dopamine is what allows us to expierence pleasure or pain, This is why it is sometimes called the reward center of our brain. Low dopamine levels lead to addiction. As far as I know monomine and norpinephrine are closely related to serotonin and are also related to your mood and depression.
