Did I get this whole serotonin thing right?

Hello forum.

So, far as I understand, ecstasy simply makes our brain release serotonin, the matter which makes us feel happy. Since using it empties the tank, we feel depression afterwards.

Also, it kills both the inhibitors and receptors of serotonin in our brain as well as reducing the sensitivity of receptors to serotonin temporarily.

Is it correct?

It is a simplified version of some complicated pharmacology, but it is more or less correct.
