I've been told that you're only supposed to change your medication like that through your doctor's help are the people on here doing it just on their own and disregarding what their doctors tell them

What are you referring to? It’s hard to keep up with these threads sometimes.

I hate to say it, but Dr's are not always our friends. I was 22 (Now 33) when I went to my local Dr who prescribed Clonazepam 2mg for some mild anxiety. Firstly, this Dr did not inform me that 2mg was equivalent to 40mg of Dizapam!! I was prescribed half to 1 tablet a day. Secondly, he was selling this off-label back in 2013. Only naturally I trusted my doctor and boy did he know I was going to need to come back for more. When Safe Script came into place in Australia (The monitoring of scheduled 8 drugs he resigned and went straight into Cosmetic injections leaving many patients addicted. He was making a fortune from other patients and myself. 10 years later I am now in the process of weaning off but boy it has been a journey.
