'Ecstasy' psychosis and flashbacks.

Abstract

We report three cases of flashbacks and one case of recurrent psychosis experienced by three MDMA users. We draw the attention of clinicians to the combination of adverse effects observed with this drug of abuse and to the advisability of prolonged treatment should they occur.
