I'm getting paranoid because I've read that you can die from using an old prescription.

I picked up my bottle on 3/15/09, in May I was told to stop it, but now I have to take it again. Is it still safe? I don't see an expiration date on the bottle. It only says 4 refills before 3/15/10.

Just need someone to put my mind at ease.

Thank you.

Well, I have to go in tomorrow anyway for something else, so I'll take my bottle along. I don't see an expiration date anywhere.

Thanks!

it should be good for a year from when you got it...

That's what I thought but I'll still ask the pharmacist.

Thanks!
