Question
hi i want to ask you a question about ecstasy i used to be able to take it and now every time i take it i seriously freak out and think my brain is melting and i feel hot and metal if that makes sense i was just wondering if you could tell me why this happened all of a sudden!i have a seriously low blood count and iron levels and was just wondering if that could play any part in it?
Dear Dawn
I doubt your blood situation will be related to the ecstasy. It could be that since this drug is illegal and manufactured illicitly that some batches are not the same dose and/or contain active impurities. Personally I would ask you to stay of this drug which is harmful to the brain and can even cause death with normal dosing.
Regards
Dr Alan Galbraith
