How does ectasy mimic natural neurotransmitters?
Ectasy (MDMA) is a derivative amphetamine. It is similar to the natural drug ephedrine and may be a alpha/beta agonist (mimics both epinephrine and noradrenaline). What is more clear is that a secondary effect of the drug is an increased release of dopamine and serotinin in the central nervous system (see NIH article).
