....unless of course you are using a PAIN KILLER or something like that, they will likely comply.

That is the stick in the mud. Some meds you can get 3 months (they still wait until that is gone to re-order) but anything for pain management they will not.

I told my doctor I needed pain meds. due to hurting everywhere. I was serious about that, but I wasn't thinking the way he did. He gave me a prescription for those pain meds three times a day and the drug store filled three months at a time and keep refilling it. Most of the time I don't take one a day. I have bottles of the stuff and keep adding more. I'm thinking, “barter goods”.

This is kind of cheating, but, if you're travelling you can tell the pharmacy you accidentally left your meds behind. They may have to consult with your doctor, and they might only do a partial refill, but they'll usually get you your meds.
