Forget the doctor's advice. Do not take your medication on day of blood test, and have it as early as possible. If you follow doctor's advice, your test will be skewed and she might adjust your medication, maybe to your detriment.

They tell me it makes no difference too - but it does. Offer to have a second test after no medication to prove 'it makes no difference' before you will reduce dose. If they think it makes no difference then there's no reason to object to you taking medication after test is there?
