Medicine when it expires usually just means that it wont work as good as it would when it was 'fresh' Sometimes they are saying now to throw out all medication that is expired, I cannot remember why not , but I know it does loose it's affectivness when you reach the expiry date, doesn't mean it wont work, but not as well.

I'd likely not take the ambien, it might still work, but maybe just not to the full potential that it use to. If you really are concerned just call up your pharmacist and ask him or her, they'll be able to give you an answer right away.

If you are wanted to take it, I wouldn't only because if you haven't been on it in along time it's proabably a bad Idea, since only your doc can perscribe it.
