As others have said, a psychiatrist's job is to prescribe medication--that is what they do. I think it's kind of like the old saying: if your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

It seems to me that you should go over this with your T--not necessarily in a confrontational way, but tell him what the psychiatrist said and how you felt about it, ask what his opinion is about whether you need medication or not or at least for some help with your making that decision. Because this is ultimately your decision, and only you know how you feel.

On that note--I was also struck by what you said about therapy being helpful--if it seems like it's working to you, well, maybe it is working well enough, just not quickly. If your symptoms are still pretty severe, though, maybe a course of medication is called for.
