Maybe in a clinical setting, or at micro-doses. Recommending "self-treating" with something that risks panic attacks or far worse is simply dangerous. Find a good specialist if you have a problem.

I am not recommending anything. There is however no reason to "strongly avoid LSD (or psychedelics) if you have any tendencies towards anxiety/fear/worry". It's simply not true.
