hi there,
i'd be interested to know the answer to this question, too. none of my meds are quite expired yet, but i have months and months worth of xanax and other meds that will reach their one year mark soon. i've heard from a few pharmacists that the expiration date is overly conservative and that the drugs retain their efficacy for significantly longer, especially if you keep them in a dry cool place as you have. if nothing else, they won't hurt you; if they're really expired, they'll just be less potent or not potent at all. let me know if you find anything out!
