have either of you experimented with meditation or yoga or deep breathing or anything else to try to speed the process up? i'd prefer not to take another pill but it's hard to be any sort of productive when revved up.

This can be prolonged due to the chemical cascade of stress and other chemicals.

If it causes my mind to race, I find prayer helps.

Injured,

I can get the same thing happening...a lot less now but it can still
occur.

I pray, a lot this year!

I use meditation but it's almost impossible to get into a deep meditative state at that point. It still helps but I find that I need to do many short rounds.

Breathing is almost the same as meditation so you can use control breathing. I find counting heartbeats between breathing the easiest and fastest. This give the mind something to focus on.
