Best wishes to you. I had to start over with a new therapist when mine moved to another state. I thought it was the end. But I've developed a wonderful new relationship with my present T. Take your medicine if it helps you--why be in a state of panic when you have medicine available? It's scary because it's new and you don't know what to expect. Does it have to be all or nothing? If you don't feel a connection after say, four sessions with the guy, could you go back to the woman? For her to recommend him because of his education and experience tells me that she really cares about you and thinks he would be of more help to you. Give him a few sessions and see if it works. Hang in there. It's only an hour or so--anyone can get through an hour.
