I think med_empowered's strategy might be a good one. Alternatively, you could call your old p-doc, and explain the situation. He/she might very well be willing to call in a new prescription to whatever local pharmacy is in your area. If that takes a while, I've found that pharmacies are pretty good about giving you a few pills to tide you over until you can get an RX.
