Multiple severe complications from recreational ingestion of MDMA ('Ecstasy')
JAMA August 14, 1987 C. Brown 52 citations
A 32-year-old woman experienced serious but reversible toxic reactions after ingesting 100 to 150 mg of MDMA (Ecstasy). Two hours later, she arrived at the emergency department with agitation, hallucinations, combativeness, dilated pupils, rapid pulse, low blood pressure, high fever, wheezing, and vertical nystagmus. Her blood levels of MDMA were much higher than in any previously reported fatalities. Despite the severity, the reactions were reversible.
