Just use them if they work, Deb. Next time you see your neuro, discuss the many other options for pain meds with him/her, there are so many choices now, there is bound to be one that you can use and feel fine about it (without feeling too fine).

I'm with Earl on the expiration malarkey, I have a bottle of Rx meclazine from before it was available OTC (5-6 yrs.?) for as-needed use. I still use it with good results when the obnoxious vertigo kicks in.
