Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we're refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.
Serious discussion only.

Well, I take Adderall for my ADHD. In a pinch, I think microdosing meth might work. But if the government collapses, I have no qualms knocking over a couple pharmacies to get my subscription to a functional brain filled the hard way.
Isn't there already a shortage in our current semi functioning society?
And pharmacies are going to be one of the first places looted, usually by drug dealers and addicts.
They might leave antibiotics and stuff, but they'd likely realize the value of that stuff.
They sure as shit aren't leaving something that's already a street drug.
Well, there's no reason I can't make my own if there's no government.
Hold on, downloading and caching all the synthesis and patent applications for Adderall and amphetamine salts I can find.
Honestly? That's my plan. Ignore grocery stores, if shit really does hit the fan, I go after a pharmacy. I likely won't be the only one thinking that way, but I'm meaner ;)
I know how our closest one is laid out, and I know what stuff to grab to keep us going as a group, plus stuff for emergencies beyond our normal meds.
We do have a supply of the meds that we can legally get a stockpile of. I have one that I have a three month supply backed up after a previous supply chain issue. Talked to my provider, explained my intent, and they actually hooked me up with extras so that I could just rotate out the oldest bottles as I get new ones. We've done that with a few meds across the household.
Go to a vet hospital, many carry human safe (in a pinch) antibiotics, steroids, etc.
