    Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe ecstacy is actually dehydrating. Dancing at a rave for hours on end without drinking anything is though.

      Just like SSRI’s, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.

      You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.

        Yeah, another part of the problem is that you cannot tell that you are hyperthermic and or dehydrated.

        Thats how you get the people that dance all night and then just die, or go comatose or pass out.

        Your body stops telling you wow, i am way too hot and wow, i really need water.

        Sort of like that rare condition where you literally cannot feel pain, and children with it will break their fingers because it feels weird.
