Cette "pilule de l'amour" provoquait d'étranges effets : bouffées de chaleur, envie de danser toute la nuit sur de la techno, besoin de caresser des gens, grincements de dents, déshydratation accélérée, angoisse existentielle, tentatives de suicide, demandes en mariage. C'était une drogue dure avec une montée et une descente, comme dans les montagnes russes ou les nouvelles de certains écrivains américains."
