I know its not exactly answering your question but there is a manga (without an anime adaptation) called 'Oyasumi Punpun'. Even though its plot is very different from Lain, the vibe I got while reading it was very similar. I'd heavily recommend it.

Same series these people are recommending are good choices. Mousou Dairinin is quite the mind*** too.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the insanity that is this show. Other users already mentioned some classic banger hits from the psychological genre, but my other favorite is Evangelion.

I've been meaning to catch Perfect Blue, I watched Paprika somewhat recently and I really enjoyed it. I'd like to slip that in sometime soon.

You want a mindf*ck? Just search for Anime with both psychological and avant garde genre:

https://myanimelist.net/anime.php?cat=0&q=&type=0&score=0&status=0&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=0&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c[0]=a&c[1]=b&c[2]=c&c[3]=f&genre[0]=5&genre[1]=40&o=7&w=2&o=7&w=1

For starters I suggest:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/875/Mind_Game
https://myanimelist.net/anime/601/Nekojiru-sou
https://myanimelist.net/anime/974/Dead_Leaves
