Suffering From PTSD And Anxiety
Would it be okay to take an epitol 200 mg tablet from a bottle that said to discard them after 05/07/13? I have been suffering from p.t.s.d. and have thought about trying it now even though I am set up to see a good psyciatrist on the 16th. I just wanted to take something other than my trazadone even though it has been effective I am looking for something that will really smooth me out and give my mind and body a chance to just sleep all day to heal some from the anxiety. I was prescribed them for p.t.s.d./depression, but at the time I don't think I truly had p.t.s.d., but I definitely do now. Thank you very much.

hello
The drug has crossed its expiry date and so will not give you any desired effect most probably.
It is useless and may also be harmfu to take it.You are already in line to see a psychiatrist , so, its better that you dont start any new drug.
For sleep you can take zolpidem 12.5mg as it is non addicting and only a sleep inducer. It is taken on SOS basis.
Hope this helps you
wish you good health!
