I did it the other way around, I started therapy then saw a doc about meds for social anxiety and depression.
It was my therapist who suggested I try meds. Right now I'm on new ADs to help me sleep, and if they don't work the doctor wants to switch me from Paxil to Wellbutrin. Whatever.
Anyway, I see a family medicine doc because I am terrified of psychiatrists. Each time I see her she asks if I'm still in therapy.
Personally, I think therapy and meds can be a good combo whether what ails you is caused by childhood trauma or genetics.
Talk to you doctor about the meds and get clear explanations about her reasons for prescribing or not prescribing them.
