Expired Cymbalta

Just prescribed Cymbalta again. Mine just expired 02-2016. Is it still safe for me to take it? It's not opened and it was stored in a dark dry cupboard.

Hello, Janet! How are you?

Medications do not become dangerous, once expired, but they can lose efficacy, so it may not work as well as it did, when it was new. Thus, it would be best to dispose of it and obtain a new supply.

The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
