MDMA Withdrawal Symptoms

When you become dependent on MDMA, you can experience painful and uncomfortable MDMA withdrawal, which makes it difficult to quit without help. Addiction and substance abuse disorders can cause financial, relationship, and legal problems, making it important to reach out for help from a stimulant detox center in FL.

Tens of millions of Americans use and abuse psychoactive substances like alcohol, opiates, and designer drugs annually. Unfortunately, drugs and alcohol are highly prone to abuse and are both physically and mentally addictive. MDMA, which is a type of common party drug that creates stimulating and hallucinogenic effects, has been used at least once by 7% of Americans. MDMA, which can come in a pill, crystal, or powdered form, is addictive and can lead to damaging medical and mental health problems.

What Is MDMA?

MDMA is a type of central nervous system stimulant that creates euphoria and produces energizing effects. When you use MDMA, your brain releases a rush of serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. MDMA causes:

Increased energy and heart rate
Hallucinogenic effects
Lowered inhibitions
Increased sexual desire
Connectedness with others

MDMA is a common party drug among young adults at events like raves and music festivals. MDMA was originally used to treat depression in the late 1970s and early 1980s. However, widespread abuse resulted in the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) issuing an emergency Schedule 1 classification in 1985. The classification meant that MDMA was banned from medical use.

MDMA can come in a crystal, powder, or pill form. Powdered MDMA is typically referred to as molly, while MDMA in a pill form is referred to as ecstasy. Users typically orally ingest or inhale MDMA. MDMA is highly addictive.

Once your brain associates MDMA use with pleasure, your brain’s reward center begins rewarding MDMA use with a rush of pleasurable neurotransmitters. When you don’t use this substance, your brain restricts the release of neurotransmitters. If you immediately stop using MDMA, you can begin to experience MDMA withdrawal symptoms within 24 hours of your last use, making it difficult to stop using without the help of a stimulant detox center FL programs offered.

MDMA Withdrawal

MDMA withdrawal can make it difficult to quit without help. You can experience painful, uncomfortable, and overwhelming symptoms such as:

Depression and anxiety
Restlessness
Insomnia and exhaustion
Disorientation and confusion

Withdrawal symptoms typically last for several days. However, with a combination of medications, therapy, and holistic remedies, we can help you manage the withdrawal process safely. MDMA withdrawal causes intense enough symptoms to make it difficult to detox without relapsing. Once you complete detox, an outpatient or inpatient treatment center can help guide you through the early recovery process and increase your chances of sustaining long-term sobriety and abstinence.
