Extacy is often called “the love pill” because of its ability to heighten perceptions of color, sound and supposedly amplifying sensations when one touches or caresses an individual mostly during sex. Extacy drug is a pill containing 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA), a synthetic molecule that alters mood and perception. It achieves this by increasing the activity of three brain chemicals in the following ways:
Dopamine— when extacy alters the activity of dopamine it causes a surge in euphoria and increased energy/activity.
Norepinephrine— the effect of extacy on Norepinephrine causes an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, which is highly risky for people with heart and blood vessel conditions.
Serotonin—the impact of ecstasy on this chemical is manifested in the mood, appetite, sleep, sexual arousal, and trust. The release of large amounts of serotonin often causes the emotional closeness, elevated mood, and empathy felt by those who use extacy.This explains why extacy pills side effects are emotionally damaging and why users often suffer depression, confusion, severe anxiety, paranoia .

How Long Does Extacy Stays In Your System
Medical research has not targeted a specific link between the concentration of extacy in blood and euphoric effect (feeling “high) induced by extacy pills. MDA, the main metabolite in extacy, is detected with concentrations varying from 5 to 10%. After you take one dose of 50 mg extacy, 0.02-0.08 mg/L MDMA concentration can be detected in the plasma. And if you would increase that dose of extacy to 150 mg, the concentration will reach levels of 0.44 mg/L MDMA in plasma. The peak levels of concentrations of MDMA in the first case will be at 1.5 hours later, and up to 4 hours later for the second case. Ecstasy produces a group of effects, mostly manifested as impaired brain function, and can last for up to 3 hours after last dose. It is important to note here that users under the influence of extacy often lose track of time. The environment start producing powerful feelings or strong, clear images in the mind and , colors appear much brighter and lines seem to be blurry. Activities are perceived as many times faster and often users report the feeling of levitation which is characterized by the rising of a human body and other objects into the air by mystical means.
In terms of its metabolism, research suggests extacy taken by mouth reaches its maximal blood concentration in about two hours. As extacy is metabolized, it is secreted into the urine and can be present for up to two days. In addition, hair follicles maintain a trace of all drugs a person has taken, and extacy is no exception, so it may linger for months. While Extacy may be present in the urine for up to two days, the effects of the pill may be much shorter or longer. In fact, the recreational or desired effects of extacy, such as euphoria, last a shorter duration than many of the undesirable or adverse effects, like anxiety or impulsivity. In general, It usually takes three to four days before extacy can be completely eliminated from the urine and approximately one to two days before it can be removed from the blood.
