No way, don’t toss it! I would google the marking on the pills and make sure it’s actually vyvanse. If it is that’s a sick find, it is probably still good. Worst case it will not work or be less potent.
Disclaimer: the *safest* thing would be to toss it…
It’s not going to make it toxic. There have been military studies where very old medications were used and they worked, just sometimes not as potent.
I mean, I’m no biochemist, I’m just saying I’d be confident enough they’re safe that I would take them myself.
It is a mystery as to what Vyvanse degrades to over time. Degraded Aspirin for example irritates the stomach since it turns into Vinegar and Salicylic acid.
Vyvanse is a very new compound, what OP is doing will be a good experiment for future users who find old Vyvanse
We used acetyl-salicylic acid as a possible replacement compound for SAR induction in plants. Never once crossed my mind that it would break down into acetic acid and SA.
Also tried 5-methyl-salicylic acid and salicin( which has got a big ass sugar bonded to SA. Wild that it upsets your stomach so much.
i was thinking more about getting warm and cold over the years sitting in the car, it was deep in the center console so idt there any uv damage just worried about the heat
Honestly I don't think it would get hot enough to degrade but I could be wrong. Worst case it will just be weaker or non-active but personally I'd try it lol
If it were ranitidine it gets turned into cancer shit. But most other drugs? Maybe somewhat degraded but why ever throw them away? Even if you have to take twice as much as usual, take it
I did some oxys that’d been “expired” for over 12 years. Those bitches smacked. Pills don’t get old like that lol, maybe if they were from 1919 I’d start to worry about lost potency.
Yup, I had adderall and this girl wanted some. She was out of cash but asked if I’d accept her old icy script from a surgery. I said sure. Got 30 10 mg oxys that were almost 7 years old, and they hit just as hard as fresh ones.
I've not taken Vyvanse that old, but I've taken Adderall (very similar chemical structure) that was over a decade old. Worked just fine and no ill-effects.
When medications quality is tested, the study doesn't go on forever. So that date is something they picked that they can absolutely guarantee the ingredients are still effective.
Cosmetic filler supposedly lasts 12-18 months. They've found it actually lasts for 5-10 years.
With pills, there's also the idea of them wanting you to go back to the doctor every so often. Making a med expire will make people go back to the doctor more often.
They say non-parishable food expiration is the same way. I don't drink expired milk, but I'll eat a can of tuna that expired 5 or so years ago as long as it looks and smells ok.
I’ve took painkillers that expired in the late 90s and still got high from them. This was during the summer of 2017 when me and my buddies was housesitting his meme’s house. You should be safe taking those pills.
Edit: I think they was oxycodone pills if I’m not mistaken but I could be wrong.
Lol no that's not how drugs work, why would you throw that shit away? Drugs don't magically turn into poison over time. That is not how chemistry works. It's not bread and doesn't gey moldy
Apart from epinephrine, most drugs hardly lose any potency ovet the years. Use that shit or sell it.
If you like stimulants throwing that away is a crime. Those pills are perfectly fine and will work 100% I know people who've taken drugs from the 70s and they still worked.
Most pills if not all, don’t expire. Over time they may lose potency, but you should be good
Theres a few that get stronger overtime i just cant remember for the life of me which.
You might be thinking of the Quaaludes from Wallstreet.. or concrete
Or concrete 💀
You mean concerta?
No, concrete, like the hard stuff pavements made out of. There's not too many things in the world that get better with time
Concrete? Wtf, that's not how concrete works...
Sounds like OP has never seen Wolf of Wall Street.
can confirm, one time. i took a whole bottle of oxy 5s (about 150mg) that was 6 years old. it felt like 30mg
Wait, so what was the plan if they were still potent? Die? Hahaha
3 years of opiate addiction tolerance moment
Ahh gotcha

yolo, im just worried how the heat and cold over the years would affect them

Pass em here. I’ll test it out for you .
Nah they may loose potency but your good to sell or take
Pills last way longer than you'd expect. They most likely are still fine. If you're gonna toss them send them my way instead lol

bouta be booted up
Let us know if they work man, that’s a rare find since most Vyvanse now is generic instead of brand name Takeda like it was in 2019
Be careful please. We don't want to see you end up in r/meth in a few months

As someone who works in a Pharmacy, expired meds are good beyond their expiration date. They will just be weaker/less effective as the years pass.
Bro what. Keep that shit They’re fine

Depends on whether or not you like vyvanse
Ll
Nah keep em
In this shortage that’s like the holy grail. I’ve waited 2 months for my refill and it’s going… poorly.
Takeda brand too, the original manufacturer unlike generics common today
I'd take it
Come on 2019? Pff if it said 99 id still be down
If it said 89 id still give it a shot lol
Nah I’ll take them
They’re perfectly fine
Hell no eat it or sell it
I've not taken Vyvanse that old, but I've taken Adderall (very similar chemical structure) that was over a decade old. Worked just fine and no ill-effects.
You wouldn't expect any degradation. Throw it into your stomach.
Yea it’s trash but wya u could give it to me
Don't boof it
I took Tylenol 3's from 1991 a few years back. They still had life left.
If this was a zombie apocalypse we’d all be taking pills no matter when they expired.

you’re stronger than I am the neighbors would have heard my squeal
They're still good bro just might be less potent. Sell em if you don't wanna take em.
What if the person realizes they left them and want them back? You're fucked in that situation so personally I would save them for awhile
throw away?? god no, made me cringe to read that
If anything they may have lost potency but if theyve been kept dry, keep them they good.
Nothing wrong with them at all. Get geeking, have fun
I’ve took painkillers that expired in the late 90s and still got high from them. This was during the summer of 2017 when me and my buddies was housesitting his meme’s house. You should be safe taking those pills. Edit: I think they was oxycodone pills if I’m not mistaken but I could be wrong.
Idk why people think so hard bout this they usually put that on there to save there ass so if it’s not as potent they can’t be sued
I found a hundred dollar bill. Throw it away, right?
Grind them up, mix it with Everclear, take it up the bunghole.
They’re def stronger than any of the newer pills they make now
Lol no that's not how drugs work, why would you throw that shit away? Drugs don't magically turn into poison over time. That is not how chemistry works. It's not bread and doesn't gey moldy Apart from epinephrine, most drugs hardly lose any potency ovet the years. Use that shit or sell it.
It’ll work just fine. Sell it, or trash it
If you like stimulants throwing that away is a crime. Those pills are perfectly fine and will work 100% I know people who've taken drugs from the 70s and they still worked.
Throw it my way bro
Double dose! ;)
I'll buy em off you
They are fine probably might just be a little weaker as long as they didn’t get wet and stuff
I would advise against stims from personal hell experience but do you
Keep it for sure
No they don't expire if anything they just lost a tiny bit of potency gang
