Some animal studies have shown that MDMA can negatively affect the serotonin system in the brain and damage neurons
No its not and if it were its the least you have to worry about.
MDMA is an abbreviation for 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine which is one single chemical. (C11H15NO2) Just like Water is name for the chemical dihydrogenmonoxide. (chemical formula: H2O) Ecstasy is the name for 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA for short) (Chemical formula: C11H15NO2) They are their own chemicals. For example if someone gives you a bottle of alcohol and calls it water they are lying or they don't know what water is, just like if someone gives you something that isn't MDMA and call it Ecstasy, they are lying or they don't know what Ecstasy is.
Amphetamines are psychostimulant drugs of abuse and include methamphetamine, amphetamine and ecstacy or MDMA. Amphetamine drugs can effect norepinephine in several ways. Initially amphetamine drugs will cause a massive release of all monoamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine) from the vesicles inside the presynaptic cleft of a neuron. Furthermore, amphetamine and methamphetamine (not MDMA) are very structurally similar to norepinephrine and can substitute, or move through, the norepinephrine transporter (NET) which regulates the amount of norepinephrine in the synapse. This can lead to dysregulation of the transporter so that it no longer functions properly. This can happen in several ways including internalization of the transporter inside the presynaptic cleft and/or phosphorylation of the transporter, which can essentially shut it off. This means that there is more norepinephrine in the synapse, which can bind to norepinephrine receptors and lead to the subjective (feeling), physiological, behavioral and neurobiological effects of amphetamine drugs.
There are no different 'types' of ecstasy. Ecstasy is MDMA, 3,4 methlyenedioxymethamphetamine. There are different 'brands' of pills, with different colors and shapes; however, these 'brands' change by the month, and are different everywhere. But if it doesn't have MDMA in it, it's not ecstasy.
MDMA is the active ingredient in extacy but usually there are other drugs like speed and other amphetamines mixed in it.
Mdma/xtc
It is difficult to determine an exact number of deaths related specifically to MDMA each year, as deaths may be attributed to other causes despite MDMA involvement. However, MDMA-related deaths are relatively rare when compared to other substances like opioids. It is important to prioritize harm reduction practices and seek medical help if needed.
extacy
There are countless different types of Ecstasy. The name "Ecstasy" refers to the drug MDMA, but most Ecstasy pills are not pure MDMA. They are usually cut with other drugs, most commonly some form of speed (amphetamines or methamphetamines), but also cocaine, ketamine (Special K), or heroin or some other opiate.
from what i have read in the past mdma, extasy are the main ones for it
No, there are no other medicines that use MDMA.
Alcohol, Absinthe especially, maybe other drugs like shrooms, opium or heroin and maybe cocaine. they didn't have the lab technology we have nowadays so they had no meth or lsd or mdma
Its usually around `15% mdma which are crystal forms and rest china roll there could be higher amount of mdma but there is also chances where people could put other drugs in it such as meth/speed and lsd (acid) or other things such as rat poison ETC* so be careful where you get them.
Its not the MDMA persay... usually its chemicals used to make "synthetic" Exstacy... cheaper than real MDMA. You can find anything form Ketamine, caffeine, speed, heroin used to make up these pills. You can sleep fine on pure mdma... its the other drugs that will mess you up.
The only ones I know for sure are mushrooms and mdma.
beans, which is molly mixed with other drugs are pressed into pills. Molly(MDMA) is a powder and can be sold in gel capsules or can be sold simply as a powder. Molly can be digested orally or snorted through the nasal.
