Not quite. They are chemically related - ecstasy is MDMA - and the letters mean methylene dioxy meth amphetamine.
So, it is an amphetamine, but the addition of the methylene dioxy group adds a bunch of effects not experienced with the other amphetamines.
It's less common than people here are saying to get adulterated MDMA - but it's not impossible. Basically, you have to be sure the people you are getting it from are experienced, and get their assurance that it's good quality.
Generally, there are relatively few dangers from good mdma. Most of the negative sides effects come when people keep trying to take enough of it to get an effect day after day. Tolerance build up EXTREMELY fast, so to get the same effect on day two, you have to take 3 times as much - and on day 3, 6 times as much. At that level you start to get some toxicity.
If you take it once, then wait a week before taking it again, bad side effects are rare.
However, one should always be careful with all drugs, especially amphetamines.
