“I only have 2 months extra blood pressure medicine, Plus the current vile.”

It is your insurance that limits you to buying three months at a time. If you don't use your insurance, you can get a prescription from the doctor for as many months as you want, and get it filled not using insurance. You would have to pay the non-insurance price. If you bought three months worth not using insurance, you would have a six month supply - the three months you have and the three extra months you bought without insurance.

I told my doctor I was a prepper, then had to tell him what that meant. He laughed and said he would give me a year's worth of prescriptions.

There's a pharmacy in Canada where you can get reputable medicines for a lot less than in the US cause you can get bulk.

It's Northwest Pharmacy.

They ship to the US. I've gotten some medication that I cannot get here in the US, thank you FDA.

I don't know how long the feds will allow that, but for the time being, it's a source.

Yeh, I knew about the insurance company. They won’t allow a refill till you get down to the last 3 pills. Went around with pharmacy more than once when leaving for a vacation and needing a refill before the last 3 days.

Last time, I pointed out that I didn’t even have Ins. anymore for drugs, and they agreed to fill it after I had 5 days left. I have always just refilled at my local pharmacy rather than by mail, because I use only generic anyway, and I like to support all the local businesses I can.

Next time I go in, I plan to ask for the script to be written for a 3 month supply. Last time I asked for 60 days extra just to have on hand, and the doctor had no problem with it.

I do keep some herbal teas etc. that help lower blood pressure too, but for long term, I don’t know. When I fill the order now, I put back 2 pills each time. Soon that will give me a month too.
