I would suggest seeing separate therapists and psychiatrists if you need or want to try the combination of meds and therapy. When I saw a guy that did both, I found it very difficult for me to terminate therapy with him (he was TERRIBLE) because I was also on medication that needed supervision to come off of.. (I was still a newbie in the realm of mental health care) I ended up staying with him through the terrible, uncomfortable therapy because he also controlled my meds (and he really wasn't much better at that). It took me some months to devise a way out of the situation. But, lesson learned -- see separate people. Two birds with one stone can equal a really damaging experience.
