Dance music star Moby has suffered crippling panic attacks since he tried LSD at the age of 19.

The 38-year-old - whose real name is RICHARD MELVILLE HALL - only sampled the drug once, but it had devastating effects.

He says, "I've had panic attacks since I was 19, when I tried LSD - my one and only time trying LSD. I didn't like it very much.

"Every now and then, I'll have too much caffeine, be stressed out about work, be in a relationship that's not going too well and it will happen again.

"I cope with it through patience. I just tell myself, listen, I've dealt with this a thousand times before and it always ends."
