Bloody Hell! 25 Ecstasy Tablets a DAY!

[dcentity2000]

Doctors have revealed details of the biggest recorded user of ecstasy - a man estimated to have taken 40,000 ecstasy pills in his life.

At the height of his use, the man - known as "Mr A" - was taking 25 tablets a day, Psychosomatics journal revealed.

The 37-year-old still had trouble with short-term memory problems seven years after he stopped taking the drug.

Mr. A took over 40,000 Ecstasy tablets in a matter of years! He stopped taking them about 7 years ago after collapsing repeatedly. The true consequences of the drug usage seems to have had a delayed action effect, just as there is with Cannabis.

Now he's been diagnosed with permanent brain damage and has virtually no short term memory - he repeats tasks over and over again, unaware that he had performed them only minutes earlier.

Other symptoms include hallucinations (hearing voices and seeing things that aren't there), major depression, crippling panic attacks, anxiety and so on.

I just can't believe that anyone would get so addicted as to take 25 Ecstasy tablets a day! Frankly I'm amazed that he's still alive - a position held by psychiatrists and practitioners alike.

In some ways, he's incredibly lucky.
