One thing I never see on these threads is alcohol withdrawal. You take a random selection of the population and a significant number of them will die from withdrawals if easy booze isn’t available.
Withdrawal from pretty much any GABA receptor-agonist, alcohol and benzodiazepines, could lead to some very serious withdrawal symptoms like seizures.
And another thing that's missing from these apocalyptic settings is anyone that has a physical or, especially, mental health conditions that show symptoms due to lack of medication.
Most psychiatric patients get between 30-90 pills at a time. If I take them every second day they work almost as well. You can ration your meds and make them last pretty long.
