what is wrong with relying on medication? It's another tie down, another thing to worry about for me.

I see. What about meds makes you worry?
Btw, you can also ask for extra medication to hold you through a trip to see your parents, sister, etc.. For example, if you know you're going to be gone for a whole month, ask your doctor if you can get a 60 or 90 day supply -- whichever is more affordable. Or you can request an early refill, if needed. Usually doctors can work with insurance companies to make an appeal to have your stuff covered, as long as it's not something you do all the time (e.g., if you do it every month or so).
If you do not have the money to pay for a 60 or 90 day supply, you can instead pay with a credit card (if you have one) so that you can defer your payment.
Many pharmacies also offer payment plans:
