Is Abilify that expired in 2005 ok to take?

Would you food that expired in 2005? I wouldn't even eat army dehydrated food that did expired 4 years ago ... Although the expired drugs are sometimes still both efficient and safe after a couple of months or a year after the printed expiry date, for sure, you don't want to be taking those pills. Even if they were never opened (blisters OR bottles). The compounds or excipients in the pill can become toxic overtime plus the efficacy will be greatly diminished and thus, it's not worth the risk at all. When in doubt, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
