Subjective Effects
Short-term experiential effects, which tend to last less than 4 hours, include:
- Mental and physical euphoria
- A sense of general well-being and contentedness
- Decreased negative emotion and behavior such as stress, anxiety, fear, and paranoia
- Increased sociability and feelings of communication being easy or simple
- Increased urge to communicate with others
- Increased empathy and feelings of closeness or connection with others
- Reduced insecurity, defensiveness, and fear of emotional injury
- Decreased irritability, aggression, anger, and jealousy
- A sense of increased insightfulness and introspection
- Mild psychedelia (colors and sounds are enhanced, mild closed-eye visuals, improved pattern recognition, etc.)
- Enhanced tactile sensations (touching, hugging, and sex)
Effects beginning after the main effects of MDMA have ended, which can last several days, include:
- Lowered mood or even depression (comedown) after the effects have worn off
- Increased anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions
- Residual feelings of empathy, emotional sensitivity, and a sense of closeness to others (afterglow)
