SingDanceRunLife, my primary care physician always suggests the least severe intervention for a medical problem first, and if that doesn't work, he goes to the next level of treatment, and then ramps up another notch if need be. I think maybe that is what your doc is doing. If you can solve your problem with exercise each day, that is great! No need for meds, then. Psychoactive meds are serious stuff and I am glad to see he wants you to try other solutions first. I hope you will give the exercise a serious try, and I hope it works for you! You are seeing a therapist too, so the combo of therapy plus exercise may be enough to help you.
