And as Dotman basically said, it's not an insta-cure; it's a process. But it can be a very worthwhile one.EDIT: Props to you for going and doing this.

Meditation is an amazing stress relief for me. Once you get a little practice, it takes very little time to reach that relaxed state and BP and heart rate drop like a stone. Very refreshing as well.

It's a shame that Western physicians are so rigid.Some good practices go with one person for therapy, another for meds. It means that if you need meds, you'll have someone dedicated to helping with dosages, side effects, etc. - but you'll have someone else helping you with yourself, therapy-wise, including anything from breathing exercises to life activities and seeing things in a new way.
