These are just short-term problems. Research about the long-term effects of Ecstasy or MDMA is ongoing. A lot of it centers on how Ecstasy attacks areas in brain cells that manufacture the neurotransmitter serotonin. Ecstasy causes the nerve cells to release a rush of serotonin. Neuroscientists believe that these damaged cells grow back, but in a denser, abnormal formation.
Ecstasy is nothing to rave about.
