Any out of date meds I have ever had, I took to the pharmacy to be destroyed. Please don't just throw them away or flush them down the toilet and contaminate the environment.
All the best,

Which mess are you referring to when you say they could be stronger over time? All meds will lose potency over a long enough time period, but they’re certainly not going to create more of the active ingredient.
The only thing I can think of that could possibly follow your scenario would be a time release me that might change its time release activity....but even that is a tenuous prospect. And I don’t think someone trying to OD would care.
