That is the right kind of meditation but it may not be a large and up does for you and your doctor may need to add a second medication. I urge you to return to your doctor and ask him to adjust the medication. You should also consider talking to a professional in addition to just taking the medication. It's important for you to understand why you had such a big breakup.
