need help! please!

ok people ill try not to bore you with the details, but here it goes. 5 months ago me and my buddies went to a few shows and we ate LSD. i have done this before a couple times and had no problems. but a week or so after that, i had a few panic attacks while i was at work (3 or 4 over the course of a week). now i havent really had another full blown panic attack since, but ever since then literally all day long i just think about anxiety. and im not even sure if i really have anxiety! i dont fear irrational things, and i never once showed symptoms of an anxiety disorder before this happened, but i know lsd can bring out underlying mental disorders so i guess this has to be the reason why. but anyway, all day long i just think about me having anxiety, and if i happen to forget about it and move on to think about something else, it hits me again and im right back to where i started. my neurologist thinks its OCD and gave me Anafranil (clomipramine) but it hasnt helped anything except the depression thats come along with it. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS?? or possibly know what might be going on? i need some help because i cant see a psychiatrist right now because im not insured and i dont have the money. so anybody with any input, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dustmaster

Anxiety is most definately mentally & physically exhausting at times. Note that recreational drugs & alcohol can increase/bring on attacks so be careful!!!

Be Well :)

It was my mothers idea because he was the only brain type specialist that our insurance covered. our insurance doesnt cover mental health. but the only thing i left out is sometimes i repeat thoughts over in my head. and ever since i was little i thought i was slightly ocd because of various reasons, but it never once bothered me. but i really dont think its ocd either. i just feel anxious when these thoughts hit. they knock my trane of thought off and its hard to get back to concentrating when im at work or school. im so mentally exhausted. thank you for the words of wisdom and encouragment. i really appreciate it

Hi Dustmaster

In my own opinion I think you are experiencing some anxiety now as a result of the tramatic experience of the Panic attacks. When I 1st started getting PA's I was constantly looking for the anxiety on edge therefore on my mind 24/7.  As you can see when you put less focus and attention to it you are fine but when you start thinkign about it the anxiety creep backs up. Anxiety feeds on the attention you give it. Try not to worry, know its just anxiety or Panic Attack and it will pass. OCD is more obsessive repatitive action/habit related. Nothing you stated in your post seems symptomatic unless you are leaving out info as to why he suggests OCD.
May I ask why you saw a neurologist? Was he referred or do you have another medical condition?
