Taking MDMA increases the level of serotonin available in your brain, which is what gives the drug it’s ‘feel-good’ effects. Too much serotonin available in your brain can be very harmful, and can lead to Serotonin Syndrome. Serotonin Syndrome can be fatal, and has been a factor in some of the MDMA-related deaths at NSW music festivals.
You can reduce risk by avoiding:
- redosing too often, or taking multiple MDMA tablets at once.
- rolling with other stimulants (e.g methamphetamine, cocaine and caffeine).
- using MDMA with anti-depressants.
- taking MDMA in hot environments (e.g music festivals, raves, indoor dance parties).
