There is just no way to definitively know and it is a risk that you should not take due to the serious consequences of taking Effexor that is no longer as potent as it once was. It could provide less benefit and more seriously, precipitate withdrawal due to under-dosing.In addition, there could be other factors in play beside just the expiration date. The longer the medication is out of the well-controlled storage conditions of a distributor or pharmacy, the more likely it has been exposed to non-ideal conditions such as high temperatures or humidity, all of which can hasten medication degradation. It is advised that you speak with your doctor or pharmacy if you have run out of your Effexor and get your prescription refilled or renewed by your doctor.SummaryExpired medication, such as with Effexor, may lose potency over time, leading to less therapeutic benefit and increasing the potential for withdrawal.For most medication, like Effexor, it can be impossible to tell whether or not it has lost potency simply by looking at it.While most medications don't go "bad" in terms of degrading into harmful by-products, the loss of therapeutic effectiveness is most concerning.It isn't recommended to take expired medication.
