Hi,
I meditate. It helps with sleep sometimes, but I wouldn't be so foolhardy as to lower medication dosages. It's just another stress-reduction tool.I took TM back in the 80s because I got the lessons for free. I would definitely not spend $1500 on it! There's nothing so special about it--it's just a basic meditation technique. They give you a mantra, but you can actually find the complete mantra list and how they pick them on some anti-TM websites. The mantra list was accurate in my case.
There are plenty of cheaper books and tapes on meditation, or you could probably find cheap or free instruction somewhere. I do awareness (insight) meditation. I learned for free at a zen center, plus read books and websites about it.
