I think it should be hyponatremia not hyponatraemia in "A scheme for management of acute MDMA toxicity has been published focusing on treatment of hyperthermia, hyponatraemia, serotonin syndrome, and multiple organ failure" but the reference does state hyponatraemia not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia so not sure what is hyponatraemia is it on Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by InGearX (talk • contribs) 04:37, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Under the headline "Adverse effects" and sub-headline "Long-term" in the first paragraph, the acronym "SERT" is used for the first time in the article without explaining what it means. A link should be added to the corresponding Wikipedia page and a parenthesis should be added after "SERT", so the text reads "...moderate to severe effects for SERT (serotonin transporter) reduction.

I removed addiction as a possible effect of MDMA and got reverted. As I mentioned in my edit summary, the cited source only says the data regarding addictivity of MDMA is controversial. If no specific reason is provided for this being included, I'll remove it again. --uKER (talk) 18:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The statement in the lede was summarizing the entire article, not just that single ref. I have removed it for that reason. Alexbrn (talk) 18:32, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone who understands DSM-IV classification and terminology check the rates of MDMA "abuse" and "dependence" (I'm not sure what is the difference between these terms). This MDMA article currently states "One study found approximately 15% of chronic MDMA users met the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for substance dependence." This citation is based on this PMID 19893331 study, which claims within the abstract "One fifth of the participants were screened as potentially dependent." 1/5 is 20%, not 15%. Also, why does this PMC 2891907 study claim within table 1 that, according to DSM-IV classification, MDMA has "abuse" rates between 4.4-11.2% and "dependence" rates between 44.6-66.4% (way higher that "15%"). Latter is extremely high and DSM-IV clearly defines the word "dependence" in some other way than a psychology layman like me.

Additionally, substance addiction/dependence/use disorder/abuse (whatever is the difference between these terms, I dunno?) is a complex issue, it might be better to have aggregated rates for these % estimates from multiple studies so that the rates would be more valid internationally speaking instead of citing the results of a single study. 5-HT2AR (talk) 12:06, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the article, the combination of MDMA with LSD, psilocybin mushrooms or ketamine are all given the name "candy-flip". However, from experience on forums and such I have gathered that MDMA + LSD = Candy Flip, MDMA + psilocybin = Hippy Flip and MDMA + ketamine = Kitty Flip. Unfortunately I do not have concrete sources, since this is something I have encountered so often that listing all instances would be impossible, however the main forum I have encountered these names at is Reddit.com

The phrase "commonly known as ecstasy (E) or molly" is misleading, given the reported increasing adulteration of illegally marketed drugs termed "ecstasy", which are likely to be "enhanced" with ketamine, caffeine, BZP, and other narcotics and stimulants.

I suggest a cautionary description would be better, i.e. "3,4-Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA),[note 1] is a psychoactive drug primarily used for recreational purposes.[13] Drugs distributed as "ecstasy (E) or molly" are normally purported to contain MDMA, but are often adulterated by ketamine, caffeine, BZP, and other narcotics and stimulants."
