Scott's having back spasms again. He had one bad enough at work (from just moving his chair while in it) that he yelled out. I had to pick him up at the train station, and then my dear friend picked me up and took me down to get his car. He couldn't drive. He has a Flexeril in him and some Tylenol. He'd already taken 4 Ibuprofen at noon, and sadly, the Percosets he's had for over a year (and never taken one of them) expired back in August, so he couldn't take one, after I talked him into trying it.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Cindy, that sounds awful. Are his back spasms an ongoing thing?
Cindy, that is terrible. I would try the expired meds though. They usually build a hell of a safety net into the dates and usually just get less potent so the worst that happens is nothing.
Hee, you're welcome. Not really bored. Just... your question made me curious, too. Not that I am planning to do any canning in the near future, or anything, I just suddenly really wanted to know. And, hey, da Bitches came through for me this morning, and turn-about's fair play.You know, I am far happier finding out stuff like this for others. It's what makes the hivemind brilliant. Like a roundrobin of finding stuff out with minimal frustration.

I was thinking this too.
Me, too.
There's no reason he can't take the expired percoset. Worst-case scenario, the drug will have lost its effectiveness, but it won't have any negative effect on him.
What Cass and Teppy and Nora and Stephanie said. Which is what I was about to say. Those expiration dates are based on effectiveness, not some danger of them having "gone bad" the way food goes bad.
The FDA recently released a statement saying that people should feel free to take their drugs for a year past the expiration date without worry. So bottoms up!
Sorry. That didn't need to be said twice.
I like when Tep (and Jen. Hi Jen!) comes in with the wise med fu. Because mine is mostly guesstimation and vague theories.
I'll tell him that. Thanks.
Hey Nora, are you here. I have to ask you a question about your neighbor who had the baby.
