Two people who took large doses of MDMA, a recreational amphetamine analog, developed long-lasting neuropsychiatric syndromes. These cases suggest that MDMA, which is known to damage serotonin neurons in animals, may also cause harmful effects in humans. The evidence indicates that ingesting large amounts of MDMA can lead to lasting adverse functional consequences in vulnerable individuals.
