A member asked:
Doctor away for a week, ran out of lorazepam.found vile in kitchen pantry, 8 sublingual tablets, which are 14 years old. are they safe to take ? 2 mg.

Probably: If you are certain the vile contains what it is supposed to contain, and if no one has tampered with the contents, the lorazepam would be "safe." However, the potency or effectiveness of the medication is likely to be diminished. A better option is to speak with the "on call" doctor or another doctor to prescribe only one week of medication. Doctors can determine if you are "due" for it.
