A Military study showed Aspirin from the Vietnam era was safe, potent and still very useable during the late 1990's!
The only medications that I have heard of that can actually become dangerous, are certain antibiotics, like tetracycline and erythromycin.
I have taken Percocet left over from an operation from the late 1980's!!! It worked just fine and no problems! It seem's chemical compunds (which most medications are) don't seem to really degrade, provided they aren't liquid medications or emulsions and are kept in a dry place, away from sun or other light.
My friend took left-over Prozac that expired about 4 years earlier. No issue with it
