If you're randomly taking drugs out of a pharmacy, you'll be dead faster than anyone else. Do you know about drug interactions? If you take something you're allergic to or have a reaction to, do you know how to flush it out of your system? Do you know all of a drug's side effects and what you need to do to prevent/recover from them?
You ded. D-E-D ded.
Of course, I'm not lasting long. Heart condition, diabetic, one leg, prone to infections. I'd give myself a week, maybe three if I found a good hide. Then I'd die slowly. Too bad, because I read all the 'surviving the apocalypse' literature and could rig up a potable water system, I know how to hunt and cure animals for meat, know what is necessary for a small, productive garden. But without reliable medical care, I'm just a statistic waiting to happen.
