A member asked:

Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) exposed to extreme heat and doesn't seem to be effective?

Dr. Jane Steiner answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Store meds properly: Usually meds will last well past their expiration date unless someone has left them in extreme heat or humidity. Then it becomes hard to say how long the med will stay effective. Ask your md for a new prescription so you can compare the new and the old pills. Take better care of your meds next time!
