What are Designer Drugs?
Designer drugs have a multitude of common street names. These can include:
- XTC
- Ecstasy
- GO
- X
- Adam
- Hug Drug
All of these names are indicative of a single type of drug known as methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA.
Ecstasy drugs are stimulants that produce psychedelic effects which can last between 4 and 6 hours. Ecstasy drugs are usually taken orally in pill form and have become a popular fixture in the club lifestyle in recent years. However, recent research indicates that the use of Ecstasy drugs is moving to settings other than nightclubs, such as private homes, high schools or college dorms.
The Effects of Designer Drugs
- Confusion
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Sleeplessness
- Paranoia
- Increased cravings for the drug
Medical Complications Associated with Ecstasy Drugs
- Muscle tension
- Involuntary teeth clenching
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
- Lightheadedness
- Tremors
- Rapid eye movements
- Dehydration
- Hyperthermia
- Profuse sweating or chills
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
In addition to these complications, use of Ecstasy drugs can increase the risk of circulatory problems, cardiovascular problems, kidney failure, loss of memory function and the depletion of neurotransmitters in the brain. Ecstasy drugs are not approved by the FDA, making them even more dangerous as the user often has no idea what substances the drug is actually made from.
