Hallo Kasandra
No I would not recommend that you use expired drug as it may not be effective or can even be harmful. Lescol and Simvastatin is in the same family of drugs - you can surely try this - not all people react the same to drugs so it is difficult to predict if this will be better for you or not. It can do harm to try it.
