this is true. wait until you're in severe withdrawals. you'll be very sorry if you don't. follow your doctors orders. at. all. times. this cannot be emphasized enough.
give up trying to be your own doctor. as addicts, we are used to "doctoring" ourselves, but we haven't done a very good job of it. i mean this in an empathetic way, just stop trying to take matters into your own hands and listen to your doctor. trust me, i know how hard this is. as an addict, i never wanted to follow instructions. it felt wrong to me.
if it feels wrong to you, it's probably right! at least, until you start to heal.
good luck!
