Hi,
If you are taking both those drugs you mentioned, I would consider withdrawing Restyl (gradually not abruptly). It is not a medication which is supposed to be used for long periods of time, creates dependence and tolerance as well as the slowing you refer.
I am not aware of any herb which can substitute Nexito. Its dose of 5 mg is pretty low though, shouldn't be causing any major side effects, certainly not the gray hair. As for exercising, yes it helps, alongside with psychotherapy it constitute the best means if you want to avoid medicines. Yoga is another activity with particular benefit for anxiety.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
