Under the current DOT drug testing guidelines , is it it illegal for the MRO(medical review officer) to demand you to stop taking your Rx medicine?

I was told by the MRO " I can't clear your drug screen until I have a letter from your Dr. that states you will no longer Rx narcotics , and I (the employee) will no longer take any Rx medication prescribed as such. It is my understanding that it is not illegal to be prescribed certain medications , only that you need to validate a medical need . From a M.D. In my case this is a work comp injury .
