I learned to control my attacks pretty well over the years (have gotten good at controlling my heart beat as well, I can usually push it under 50 beats a minute while focusing). I never wanted to get all drugged up... doctor wanted to put me on clonazepam, told me to take them before I went to sleep, but I told him no. I hate medication and I think I do a well enough job with just controlling my heart beat.
