Med Expired 2011
UpdatedIs it okay to take it if it's been expired since 2011. I also take Celexa and buspar but I'm still having bad anxiety and I have some hydroxyzine from 2011 and I was wondering if it is safe to take it? Please any help would be great.

Hello, Duckie! How are you? I'm sorry about the way you're feeling.
This medication doesn't become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose effectiveness, so it may not work as well as it did, when new.
It would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor to obtain a new supply, if needed.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of Hydroxyzine as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and sedation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
