A member asked:

My friend had severe panic attack so she took expired zyprexa (olanzapine) (expiration date 2008!) will it even help &/or will she b ok or is she in danger??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Expired meds: The expiration date 2008 makes it possible that the Zyprexa (olanzapine) will not work in controlling the panic attacks. However, I do not believe it would be harmful.BTW Zyprexa (olanzapine) is not the first choice to treat this problem. I would strongly advise to consult with your doctor.
