Early Period From Ecstasy Use

Having a period early seems to be a matter of debate among female Ecstasy users, since some women do experience variations in their natural cycle, while others do not notice anything in particular related to the use of Ecstasy and their period. There is no medical information on how an early period can be one of the effects of Ecstasy, so there is only mythical evidence that this might be true.
