I used to take clonazepam but stopped because it was causing a side effect. Lately I've been getting anxious at night though. So I've been taking lorazepam 1mg tablet. But it didn't work all that well. It worked well in the past so I don't understand it. The tablet is very powdery in the bottle now and very easy to break in half. So I'm just wondering whether medication like lorazepam has something like a due date. Its actually about 2 years old.

It has an expiration date, but I believe it's something very long, like maybe 4 years? Of course the potency can be effected by what kind of conditions it's stored in- like it shouldn't be stored in humid areas, or in too much light or heat.
But my guess is that since you were taking clonazepam, then lorazepam which works on many of the same brain receptors, you have probably developed a bit of a tolerance to the drug's effects.
Out of curiosity- What was your side effect on clonazepam?

bottles in the u.s. say they expire in 2 years. It doesn't mean it's true. It might have lost some effect from being stored in immense heat or light, but even that is highly douubtful.
@hopeless mess: the side effect that I was getting from the clonazepam well I'm not 100% sure on this was that I was getting a bunch of very itchy red spots almost everywhere around my body. It was extremely itchy that I just couldn't go outside. The thing is that it only would last for no more that 20 minutes then they would all start to disappear and the itchiness would subside.
I have that same fear. I was given 0.5mg tablets of clonazepam but I'll try to break it into just less than a half. Amazingly enough it works fine.
