A member asked:
Is it ok to use the pain medication from a prescription from 2 years ago for the same issue? would the legality of the prescription expire? i understand the medicine could diminish?

From a purely legal standpoint, there might not be significant issues, with the exception of being randomly tested at work( you will have to inform them of taking opiates). However you move now the responsibility towards yourself as far as diagnosing and treating your condition, informing your doc about your symptoms remains best.
