Thanks. You always give very thoughtful answers. I was thinking the same thing but I was hoping to get some opinions from people who've taken expired adderall.
I would trust Sandman on this. There are pharmacists in my family and all of us have used "expired" prescriptions. The important thing is to keep the medication in its original sealed state and away from light or moisture.
Kinda of doubt that you will get much feedback from people with the same problem. My experience has been that you are pretty unique in having a bottle that has expired. Most (if not all) people tend to use their meds up way before the expiration date.
Thanks to both of you. I wasn't able to find any other threads where anyone actually said that they tried expired Adderall. I guess people just don't let it sit around that long.
I'll let the forum know how well it still works. This might be an internet first.
Lol, send them to ME..!
I can't find a pharmacy that has any Adderall {expired or not}..!!
And, I desperately need them!
the U.S. Army has a special book giving expiration dates that it follows. These go beyond the dates we are given. My impression is that the dates we are given may have to do with profitability. Cynical, I know, but there is every reason to be cynical nowadays - unfortunately.
I tried them today. They still seemed 100% as potent as they should be. I guess 3 years in the back of the closet won't do them any harm. Saved me $100!!!
Congratulations. And why am I not surprised....
Yep, as usual, you guys were right!
I wanted to answer this more specifically, as a pharmacy professional. The adderall will lose efficacy over time, but slowly. As far as I can tell, and you seem to have discovered, it is not dangerous.
However, it bothers me that others have stated that "it should be fine if kept in low light and unopened." This is an EXTRAORDINARILY dangerous idea for certain medications including tricyclic antibiotics and aspirin. Please take more caution besides the random musings of the internet.
