> store up ... enough (but not more than enough) medications

I'm not clear how this would work in practice. In the US, between insurance and the DEA, patients get very little choice about how many meds are dispensed at which intervals. There are all kinds of constraints.

Yes, it of course depends on the medications and you can just do what you can do. Some people use over the counter medication, and sometimes you can get a prescription for a longer period of medication but not always.

I tell my doctor that I lost my meds at a hotel and have them prescribe me another set.

If you try that with scheduled medications they just don’t believe you and put you on a list of “drug-seekers”
