Right there with you. I got tired of the constant fight (long holiday weekend? Tough, you still can't fill, enjoy being without your necessary meds! Doctor didn't get around to re-issuing the same script you've had for years? Tough, same deal, etc, etc...) and just plan on taking partial doses on the days I can afford to be less functional so that I've built up a reserve. It sucks, and it's a bigger deal than I think most people know.

As someone who has experienced this phenomenon in the US, outside the US is so much better. My doctor just prescribes me nice round numbers of pills, usually ending with two zeroes. I almost couldn't believe it at first.
