This is not medical advice, nor is it intended to be. These are also not intended to be formal medical recommendations and you should never abuse medication or use it against its guidelines; you should also ask your doctor or clinician’s advice, etc etc. These are lists of ideas, tips, and tricks for theoretical disaster and prepping scenarios.

Stocking Up

  • Depending on your doc, they might be able to put in an order for you with a medical/pharma wholesaler and you would pay in cash.
  • If your clinician is okay with it, but insurance is getting in the way of filling, you can see if CostPlus Drugs (Mark Cuban’s pharmacy) has your medication.
  • If you have a higher dosage but you are able to use a lower one, depending on the medication, you might be able to cut the pill or dose in half.
  • Ask for 90 day supplies from mail-order pharmacies (GoodRX Cold, Cost Plus Drugs, Caremark, Blueberry Pharmacy, HoneyBee Health etc.)
  • International pharmacies you could try: InHouse Pharmacy (New Zealand), Buy Pharma (Singapore/India), Mexican pharmacies that have some critical meds OTC
