How does it work in the brain?• Increases the activity of three neurotransmitters ; serotonin,
dopamine, and norepinephrine.• Causes neurotransmitters to be released from their storage sites
in neurons -> increased neurotransmitter activity.• However, by releasing large amounts of serotonin, Molly causes
the brain to become significantly depleted of this important neurotransmitter.
