If you tell your doctor about the trip, she or he should provide you with enough to cover you while you're away.

Hahaha. You're right (though it could happen - I took 10 months of pills with me). I was able to get anything additional I needed by going up to a chemist, and telling him the generic/drug name and dosage. I never needed a prescription, though I hear in some cities it can be a problem without one.
