"I have five days of Zoloft left. I'm leaving town tomorrow for seven days, and my physician is gone for the next six days."
He/she should have someone covering for them. It is standard practice, at least in the US. The docs answering service should be able to help you with this.My pdocs secretary can call in refills when he is away and did so while he was in the hospital for 2 months.
My pharmacy has spotted me a few pills to tide me over if it is a med I have taken for some time.
I would not directly ask them to do this; just call and speak to the pharmacist, tell them your situation and ask them what to do. They may offer to help you out.These would be cheaper options than what blueberry1 mentioned, but if none of these work
then I would suggest going with blueberry1's suggestions.Personally I would never consider stopping/changing/adjusting meds while traveling, moving, etc. These tend, for me, to be times of higher stress.
