Doctors have revealed details of the biggest recorded user of ecstasy -- a man estimated to have taken 40,000 ecstasy pills in his life. At the height of his use, the man -- known as "Mr A" -- was taking 25 tablets a day, Psychosomatics journal revealed. [BBC]
Writing in Psychosomatics journal, the medical team led by Dr Christos Kouimtsidis, said: "For a few months [after he stopped taking the pills], he felt as if he was still under the influence of ecstasy and suffered several episodes of 'tunnel vision'.
"He eventually developed severe panic attacks, recurrent anxiety, depression, muscle rigidity (particularly at the neck and jaw levels)."
Mr A, 37, also experienced hallucinations and paranoid ideas.
