I've got a handful of old vicodin in the medicine cabinet from a root canal a few years back. I keep them around for infrequent migraines - and they seem to do the trick. What happens to the old opiates with age? From what I've read - if kept cool, dry, and dark, they might just lose some potency over time. Anyone have experience with this?
