Has anyone seen Valium degrade like this? Would they be safe to take?

No never, what have they been exposed to?

No never, what have they been exposed to?

I guess just heat and humidity. They're only about a year old. They were kept in the original script bottle in a dresser drawer. Do they become toxic when they degrade?

They dont become toxic. Is there any chance any liquid spilled onto them? Thats the only time Ive seen tablets change shape so much.

I honestly have no idea, hopefully someone comes along who can help you out! Age Vs quality/the state of them I'd say they probably would have lost their potency though

Very interesting, I have no idea.

I have some teva diazepam that's over 2 years old and other than showing normal wear they still look fine.

No, no chance that they were exposed to liquid. I guess it can't hurt to try one.

I once received crumbly old looking Valium when I was young and I took it with no ill effects. Sadly I was too young to realize that may not have been just "normal aging" but I didn't notice a change however I was also too young to really know benzos. I would think from a "will it kill you" stand point you will be completely fine. But I cant comment on anything else.
