You know the deal. The doctor writes you a script for something. He sends the script to your favorite pharmacist, and the pharmacy fills it. You pay your copay and the insurance company pays the rest.
If it is a chronic medicine that you might need for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter. You will typically only get a 90 day supply. Then SHTF happens. You will have a hard time, if not impossible, finding or stockpiling medications that will buy you time and get you through SHTF. A time is coming where people will be in a world of hurt and die horrifically when the supply chain is broken, or when your pharmacy runs out, or when it is burned to the ground by hoards looking for pain medicines after these run out. The typical 90 day limit is part of the insurance racket, but playing their game is optional. This thread is about the other options.
Maybe we come out of SHTF after a couple years, maybe we don't. But a couple years contingency is better than your 90 day supply, or what is left of this 90 day supply when SHTF hits.
What sources do you use to get chronic medicines or antibiotic medicines that you can stash away? Yes, I know that meds have a typical shelf life, need to be stored correctly, etc. This is fair game for discussion too. Meds are potentially lethal or dangerous if not taken correctly. So buyer beware. There are resources for helping with this too. Feel free to chime in here.
Here are two sources where you can pay cash and get prescription medicines in the mail at a reasonable cost:

My wife needs two simple pills to survive, and for about $200, we can stash away a year's supply as a backup. It is amazing how prices become more reasonable when it is all cash and the insurance game is bypassed.
What other sources have you used to get your medication stash?
How are you storing it?
If you are not a clinician, how do you manage understanding how to use antibiotic (for example) without doing harm?
A day is coming where it will be too late to do anything about medication needs. SHTF will be a come as you are thing.
