Proper warm ups and warm downs after playing will help, but once the chops are stressed and fatigued, it is my belief that the best thing you can do is simply take some time off of the horn - one or two days - and let your chops recover.

That's what I would do.
I agree 100%, other than not taking on so much the only other thing i would say is to be smart about your playing. If you are playing 1st know your limits, if you have a very good section to play with and you are getting worn out maybe change a few parts around. leave out unisons, use an assist, etc.. team work is a good thing!
