Well, my therapist is frankly ignorant about meds. It isn't their area of expertise, unless she's also a psychiatrist. He hears that this or that works, but he'd never recommend anything in particular for me.
Unless she's a psychiatrist, I'd guess she hasn't read the documentation from the drug company. She's probably got word of mouth reports, or knows what psychiatrists prescribe in similar cases.
I wouldn't let it shake your trust in her intentions, although perhaps she oughtn't be so specific in her recommendations if she's not an MD or psychologist licensed to prescribe.
