As long as they haven't been exposed to moisture and intense heat its likely that they are probably still at the edge of their usefulness.
At least here, I've noticed that medications I take have now been dated from the pharmacies between 18 months and 3 years unlike the past.
As for adding it without your doctor's say -- well that I can't get into, I wouldn't play with medication in that way but maybe I'm misunderstanding and this has been discussed.
It is true that there have been limited government trials (military) of most-used pharmacopoeia in their effectiveness over a considerably longer period of time -- however it is likely that those medications had been stored under conditions that didn't necessarily include every situation the average person would have left their medications in.
That being said, some medications were still found effective after more than a decade.
But some medications have a notoriously short shelf life and should be heeded as its not known what metabolites and breakdown products you will be getting.
