It's important to know whether you may have developed these conditions, because you may be subject to experience ecstasy withdrawal symptoms when quitting ecstasy.
Most people can simply discontinue using ecstasy without going through a harmful withdrawal period. This is because MDMA, the active component of ecstasy doesn't cause physical dependency in most users. Most users experience psychological symptoms over physical ones. Even though you may not experience physical side effects, if you are a regular user of the drug, it still may be recommended to seek professional help when quitting. A professional can help determine whether a gradual decrease or cold turkey approach is best for you.
People who use ecstasy regularly are more apt to experience withdrawal symptoms, the severity of which will vary from person to person. More than likely the user will simply experience psychological symptoms like anxiety, cravings, depression, excessive dehydration, irritability, and paranoia. Relaxing and staying hydrated are important components of detoxing from ecstasy.
If you've developed a physical dependence on ecstasy, however, you may experience aches and pains, confusion, digestive disturbances, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, suicidal ideation, and weakness. The intensity of these symptoms could increase based on the intake of the drug. This is why consulting a professional may be a good idea to develop a safe detox plan.
Whether you decide to go cold turkey or slowly stop using, if you're planning on quitting ecstasy yourself, keep in mind the support of a medical professional could be beneficial. On top of organizing a plan to be medically safe, you may need someone for mental support as well. If you know you'd like to explore options on how to quit, but aren't sure how, don't think twice about asking for help.
