What Is The Shelf Life Of Alprazolam Before It's Useless?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have a bottle of alprazolam from 2005 and I'm wondering if it's still good? It's 4 years old at the time of writing this.

I have taken Alprazalam past the expiry date by5 years and I’m still alive, did not get ill. Just they were not very effective, although kept in cool dark spot.

Wow, this was a fun ordeal trying to get answers from Xanax patients and their older scripts! This is why I had to read through all of each person's philosophy on God! I feel like this is not pertaining to the subject matter supposed to be on here! There were some very good answers, I think I came up with they might be a little less potent...as I took mine sublingually as to avoid my GI tract. The older ones do not have the horrible taste? I had to take a little more. I have been on this for over 20 years, and do have a stockpile...what happens if there is a disaster? I think ahead. I believe in God, but you know what, no one is really going to have an answer till it's their time. I believe in near death experience also... Everything is here for a reason...everything is your choice...your beliefs...it is not my choice to have panic attacks, but it was not my choice to have been abused. It is my choice to use what I can to stop the attacks in their tracks! Thank God there is Xanax, used wisely!

I found my outdated script to work fine even when I only took 1/2 of one. Such answers as God will help then everyone with a medical condition would be healed but I guess we just do not pray enough. Please. Panic attacks are a real thing like a headache or a backache and doctors who know and understand are also Gods people. So stop the nonsense about Jesus and God already. That is why we have hospitals and doctors and nurses, etc.

He is providing. He's getting you the meds. People forget that God works through people, as well.

So Jesus did not save the 6 people in the car in the flood in Texas and they all died, even the children. Was that because they did not pray enough? Please.

Not always, I'm working on some 2013 Alprazolam as we speak and it is fine. Yet the Rantidine I have in my overnight bag in the car went rancid. To be fair the car heated up to 125+ Degrees in this Southern California area, and out of 6 meds the Xantac (not Xanax) went bad

For all those wondering I read this post and got some assurance but then took some alprazolam that were over five years old and they did the trick. Totally effective five years later

I agree 'nervous wife'.
People need to keep comments limited to the topic of discussion and silently agree to disagree.
I sincerely hope you get information that helps your individual need. Hang in there. God Bless you NW.

Yo Mr Dean,
Why is it that when a person submits a suggestion with a sincere intention of only trying to help a total stranger, a comment is posted ridiculing them from someone who is a nasty mean hearted bully that calls them a vulgar name. nasty bully that calls the person a vulgar name.
Just because you disagree there is no need for abusive rude behavior.
So try not to be mean to folks who are merely trying to others.

Thank-you Tabitha, this is the way I world prefer to be helped-through Jesus Christ. But some nights my panic is so strong that I need Xanex, as I can't control my mind or thoughts to Christ. I wish I could. I pray that I could.

Seriously Tabitha my father is a Christian man. He has a Christian book published. He was a firehouse chaplain chaplain we went to Sunday school made our communion and confirmation. My son attended Christian School his whole life. The rest of the family has gone their own Christian beliefs. Panic attacks unfortunately run in my family it is a chemical imbalance very very scary. I've suffered for many years from anxiety disorder. And I can't tell you how upset I was when my teenage son had his first one. Face it you don't know what you're talking about

This Answer is two fold: 1.) I asked my Doctor a similar question about expired meds. He said "It's fine. You can take them. They might be less potent." 2.) Do Research: there are websites that go in-depth about taking expired meds. Our (U.S.) Military was throwing away expired medications, costing them $millions. A study was conducted & concluded it is, in fact, safe to take expired meds. VIP: The expired meds MUST be stored in its ORIGINAL BOTTLE, preferably in a cool, dry, dark place. Now, just my thoughts about the God comment: "GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES." Pray for strength, guidance, saying a Rosary can bring a calmness & peace to your mind, body & Soul. This, in turn, may give you tranquility during a panic attack & later clarity to find a different Doctor that is better suited for your unique needs. Prayer helps, but you still need to do the work! Never feel ashamed that you need to take meds to feel "normal". And ALWAYS take your meds as directed. I'm not a Doctor, just speaking from my own experience. Many blessings!! XO
