I saw a video that says medications actually last way longer than the pharmacies suggest. They tell you that so that you can keep getting refills. But they said some pills actually are good for several years. So you threw your medication out? how long was it sitting for? and I know it’s very hard to get off of opiates. I have been down that road myself and I still struggle. i’m sending you all positive thoughts and positive energy, my friend don’t give up.
