It works for me!

I can't remember why I did this the first time - must have been some logic to it - but it works 100% of the time on episodes. Doesn't mean there won't be another one tomorrow but, tomorrow is another day.
Believe it or not: two 1mg sublingual Ativan under the tongue to slowly dissolve. While they're dissolving I walk/march briskly, on the spot, for between 5 and twenty minutes. Heart rate and breathing go up - pain comes down. I guess that if you have a treadmill or a starclimber or similar that'll work too but I hold onto the chest of drawers and march, knees up! Can't imagine how silly it must look, but IT WORKS! Certainly well enough so that I can go to sleep or get back to sleep. Originally the Ativan was prescried for anxiety.
I hope it works for at least some of you. I wonder if anyone has done anything similar?

Glad you've found something that is working for you. I'm not one that will want to exercise or get moving during an attack - except for the thrashing and rocking that I seem to do VERY well  But if it works for you - go for it!

Glad you have found something that works....lets be honest about looking silly, if wearing a chicken suit and bouncing on a pogo stick on the roof helped we would all do it.... 
Keep jogging xxx

I take xanax for anxiety. It is a benzo drug. I noticed the last 2 times I stopped taking it I was it pretty badly with ch. When I started taking it I was ok again. hmmm. I thought it was coincidence. Maybe not.
