“Ecstasy and neurodegeneration. Tablets often contain substances in addition to, or instead of, ecstasy.”.

Abstract
Those who metabolise the drug quickly may possibly also experience 'desirable' effects of the drug for a shorter time than other people. This might lead them to take increasing doses to sustain the wanted effect, with this compounding any potential risk. In a study at the Maudsley Hospital many subjects have reported taking over 10 tablets in an evening; some have reported lifetime use exceeding 1000 tablets. With toxicity in animal studies being associated with a single dose,4 such lifetime consumption makes the likelihood of latent functional psychological problems even more likely.
