Taking Expired Klonopin (clonazepam)

Updated

The pharmacy I go to is out of Klonopin (Clonazepam). I take 0.5 mg every night before bed for epilepsy. Can I take an expired one? Two years ago they gave me the wrong prescription for a 1 mg that I still have. Can I use it even though it’s expired?

Clonazepam does not become dangerous once expired, but it might have lost some efficacy, depending on how it was stored.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Somebody should have told you to have your prescription transferred to a pharmacy that had the medication in stock. This is easily done and should have been recommended by the pharmacy that was out of stock.
