When does Alprazolam expire?

When does Alprazolam expire?  I noticed there is no expiration date printed on the prescription bottle.  

I've asked the pharmasist who filled the prescription on two separate occassions; but, recieved two different answers.  The first answer was: ' One year after the perscription was filled'.  
The later answer was: 'Two years after the prescription was filled.'

So that leaves me with not knowing which one to go by.

The prescription was filled 10 and 1/2 months ago.

Thank you mjbrown for your reply.  

I think I'll just play it safe and disregard it after one year.

Have a great day.

Mine used to have an expiration date of one year from when it was filled.

Thank you MrGreen for your reply.  Like you mentioned, I was also concerned about how long they were in stock before I got it.

Have a great day.

It would depend how long they have been in stock in the chemist for. Might have been there a while before you got them. They should always carry expirary dates. Mine used to. Can't recall what it was. But it was a good amount of time. Use the name Xanax and people might answer your question quicker as that is the name more people would know them as.
