Just make sure that they weren't exposed to excessive air or light. I'm not sure what head and cold do to them, but they could probably affect the longevity of pills as well. I know that if you leave Wellbutrin out, it will start to oxidize and smell pretty gross. Celexa (citalopram) is the best of the SSRI's in my opinion.
See
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ssris/ssris_info1.shtmlNote how close together the values for 5-HT1a,
5-HT2a, and 5-HT2c are. That is my reasoning. By the way, the value of 1 for 5HTRI simply means that it is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Paroxetine (Paxil) is the next best if you're using my method, but as you can see at
http://www.gpcr.org/7tm/ligand/Organon/Tablig/LIG_C78246498.html
that doesn't translate into effective 5-HT2a or
5-HT2c antagonism. I am interested in seeing how effective Celexa is as a 5-HT2a and 5-HT2c antagonist within normal dosage ranges. Boohoo to those who say, "What, we need another SSRI?"Shawn
