I travel for a living, new town every day, some times for 3-4 months at a time. I make it a point to call around to the national chains, see who is the cheapest as their prices can be way different (I don't have insurance). If you have insurance, most will not allow you to get more than one month at a time. Make sure you know where your closest Walgreens, etc is, and never wait until the last min to refil. They will move your prescription three times - that means three different locations.
I have an agreement with my pdoc that I must see her once a quarter. If that means I see her in Jan and then in June, that counts, but not really. I check in with her periodically, and if she thinks we need to do a phoner, than we do.
My biggest problem is that I have been changing meds more than my underwear, which means each rx has no refills. She is very gracious to call in anywhere I need it.
Good luck!
