I was off of Mirtazapine for a while. I was not hungry, so I didn't eat. I lost weight, had no energy and could not think clearly.

In your particular case, rather than speaking more generally, could you manage with a lower dose of the medicine, but still obtain prescriptions for the full dose and thereby build up a reserve.
Could extra supplies be obtained via irregular means, whilst times are normal and thereby save more of the regularly obtained supplies for any future emergency.
If supplies run short, could you "force" yourself to eat even when not feeling hungry, so as to maintain a normal weight.
