hello, i tried acid this last october for my first time. I thought it would just give me amazing visuals and make me laugh and enjoy the night. So i just bought one hit, i took it at like 6pm. I met up with my friends and got in the back of their truck. We smoked one joint and listened to music while driving down some backroads. Next thing i know, my palms are sweaty as hell and my heart rate is thru the roof. I started to freak the fuck out. I thought my world was collapsing around me and i had to fight to maintain my sanity. I thought that i was going to lose my mind and never come back. It was by far the scariest experience of my life. I eventually calmed down hours later. But heres the problem, its been months later and every once in awhile i get a panic attack that seems EXACTLY like how i felt the night i tripped. But it only lasts for like 5 minutes before i can calm myself back down and not freak out. I only get these panic attacks when im alone and thinking about life and i get a crazy idea like "what if this is all fake?" so i guess my question is this, did my one night of tripping cause me to having a panic disorder or am i like bi-polar or schizophrenic now? any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you

Can LSD bring out a disorder?

You just had a bad trip, try not to concentrate on it and it will get better with time. You're normal and not brain damaged in any way. Bad trips are like any other stressful experience and can make you feel wierd and panicky until you deal with whatever was making you scared or let it fade from your memory.
LSD can expose underlying bipolar etc, but it doesn't sound like that happened in your case. Bipolar/schizophrenia etc involve a lot more than the occasional panic attack.

what if this is all fake?
ok its fake
nothing more than a label, you are still here, you still hear, smell, feel, taste, and see the "fake" world around you... blah blah blah
how about you drop the label fake because it serves no purpose once you really break it down
maybe there is more to life than you have let yourself be aware of to this point and this scared you? maybe like a certain element of cause and effect and you possess a profound degree of control and this responsibility scares you?
there is nothing to fear but fear itself
just...
relaaaaaax and smile
you are gonna be alright

Don't worry. Your willingness to question reality is a sign that you are perfectly sane. It's only scary because your whole life people have told you not to question reality. Whether all of this is real is one of the oldest philosophical questions and there have been countless books written on the subject. All of philosophy and science is essentially the reexamination of the way we view the world.

Cartesian Doubt is a bugger eh? 
Sounds like you had a mild panic attack while on LSD, and this does happen from time to time. Most panic attacks do feel more or less the same, and people often associate the first panic attack with subsequent ones, and they may or may not be related. Its really a case by case type of thing. Anyway, in general these things do tend to fade over time, however it's most helpful to confront the source of the panic attack.

You're not crazy. Personally I love to think about the possibility that the nature of reality might differ completely from how we are perceiving it. "Is this all fake" is a very interesting question, but I don't let that question decide how I should live.
For example, we really can't be sure that we're not living in a computer program, but what's the point of wasting your life worrying that something like that might be true? Reality could be fake on some level, but if it's made to feel real then why worry about it? Embrace it, and enjoy the fact that you're a person that will admit you know nothing about the true nature of the universe. Most people delude themselves into thinking that they have a good grasp on how the universe works.
