Please reconsider asking your physician since you need a proper answer, whereas my answer woudl be a knee-jerk "NO...oh geez please don't!"
Your doc would ween you from the meds you take if you need some of them done.

with addendum to my prior:  I understand why you can't go back to your dr. (more than you know!)  A doctor here could answer OR you could also go ask what would happen if ... to your pharmacist.  There are programs to help people with obtaining their needed meds.   I got my MS medication Copaxone from N.O.R.D (National Organization of Rare Disease) and there are lists online for the "indigent pharmacy program" they will send you a list of pharmacies who are either in your area or ship from the program pharmacies when they do not have one near you.   Good luck and bless you.
