What parts of the bady are damage due to extasy?

Ecstasy is designed to use ALL of your body's Serotonin over a period of 3 to 6 hours. When the body is drained of all of its Serotonin, it must slowly regenerate over time (a week or two). Many people believe that if you continue to use Ecstasy without allowing your Serotonin to replenish itself, you are at risk of Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome. However, if you use Ecstasy only occasionally, you will not suffer any bodily harm.
