Stimulants Shelf Life of Amphetamines?

[Louis CK]

Hey, so just found out I can get my hands on a lot of 40mg Focalins, was wondering how long they last before losing effectiveness? Would two or three months be too long to store them?

Thanks

That's not an amphetamine.

Most pills can last many years, as long as they are stored properly. Make sure you keep them in a cool, dark, place, and in a sealed bottle as to keep any moisture from getting inside. Don't just toss them on your dresser or something. If you make sure to satisfy the three variables which contribute to deterioration, you'll be fine for months, if not years. (Light, temperature, moisture)

The shelf life usually depends on whose shelf its on...

Thanks for the help! I am keeping them in a plastic container in a drawer, so I guess I will be good for a few months.

and yeah, I guess methylphenidate isn't really an amphetamine, but pretty similar effects %)

Methylphenidate should last for quite a while (decades) if it is kept dry and out of the light.
