How Long Will Adderall Stay Detectable In Urine (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I am a Methadone patient. My clinic does random drug tests once a month. They send urine to a lab but just for the standard test and only upon false positives and other rare circumstances they have the lab extensively test (this is done rarely for the clinic is cheap, seriously). I took 30mg Adderall through the day Friday and stopped by 5:00 pm. The soonest I can be tested is this Tuesday. What is the likelihood of the results being positive? Thank you and I know what I did was dangerous and regret it.

He said he took 9-10 adderalls on Friday and the earliest he could get tested is on Tuesday... But yes you are correct, taking a good decent job will help sweat it out..

I have found that the cops WONT listen stolen medication in a police report. I don't understand this. I believe that my purse was taken for my meds that were in it. Yes everything else is valuable and hard to replace, but meds are irreplaceable. I couldn't even get my local sheriff's dept to listen my meds in the police report. I had major problems doing without what I needed the most

I would assume that you could show them your most current script for the Adderall..Tell em you've dragged out the script bc u couldn't afford it anymore n wanted to wean if asked. I've never had an issue, if I had ever been prescribed before and used a not so current bottle. Idk how strict they are there though...

I was searching for answers for over a week and found nothing conclusive so here's my experience for you all to use in case you're in the same or similar situation as me.

Note: All irrelevant dates/stats are slightly skewed to keep anonymity (as friends know my story).

Background: 21 Years Old, 160 lbs, 5'10, 15 - 20% BMI, Fast Metabolism, quit smoking marijuana over 1 year ago for another drug test, and have taken other drugs on occasion (over 1-2 months before this occasion).

Story: I had taken 15 mg IR at 12 PM Thursday (1/1) and retook 15 mg IR at 6 PM the same day (1/1) for a total of 30 mg IR (circular pill form). Accepted a job offer on Monday with 48 hrs to take my drug test. Took the drug test (Pre-Employment LabCorp) Wednesday around 12 PM (1/7). Received notification that I passed on Thursday (1/8) around 12 PM.

Knowledge: According to my research, I learned that 30 mg of IR adderall had a half life of around 10 hrs (ranged from 8 - 20 hours depending on metabolism, IR or XR, etc) meaning that the 5 days I had (120 hours) meant 12 half lives (maximum) for the drug. Using this calculator (Drug Half Life Calculator) I found that I would have under the 1000 ng/ml requirement (or 500 ng/ml depending on type of screening) for Adderall (which would've been flagged as an amphetamine or methamphetamine depending on the stage at which the test caught the drug breaking down). From Friday-Monday Morning (when I was unaware of the drug test), I didn't exercise, drink alot of water (except what was necessary to keep away the hangovers), nor eat very heavy/greasy foods. Even on Monday after I learned I drank slightly more water (bathroom every 3-6 hours) and didn't exercise (although I hear because Adderall is neither water/fat soluble it wouldn't matter much). Even when pissing into the drug test I used the beginning of the stream rather than the middle or end (where myth as it there's less of the enzymes (?) visible necessary to break down specific drugs which some drug tests also look for).

Moral: If you've taken 30 mg of IR, 5 days is plenty of time if you're of similar stature and even if not, take into account most of the fear that's making you read this entire story and even search this in the first place is in your head. I was scared to death from the moment I took the test till I received the results (8 days!!!) but once you take the test there's nothing you can do. Drink water and even work out for your body's sake, but the drug will break down at its own pace and there's nothing you can do about it that will change this time drastically.

Tip: If you know you're going to fail (took Addy, marijuana, etc right before a test) and can't get access to fake urine, dilute dilute dilute (drink alot of water before the test). Worst they can do is make you come in and retake the test once they figure out that the sample is too diluted giving you more time to break down and get the drug out of your system.

I am on cymbalta 60mg at night and 30mg in the morning along with 200mg of gabapentin 3x a day for fybromayalgia and mild depression. I was given adderall 30mgs and I took a few of them. I felt focused but had started to sweat excessively for a couple of hours and my pupils are dilated. I looked up the symptoms and it linked me to serotonin syndrome. Being freaked out I didn't take my gabapentin or cymbalta yet today. My question is...if I took 60mg of adderall this morning, should I take the other two scripts (cymbalta and gabapentin) today or skip them and wait 24 hrs for the adderall to leave my system? Do I need medical attention or am I being paranoid? My muscles are cramping up in my back and hands so I'm not sure if this is caused from skipping my meds for fibromyalgia or if I could be experiencing life threatening conditions? Also I have prescribed Xanax I take occasionally for anxiety...should I take one to calm down the effects of the adderall? I know this is a lot of questions but I need help on what to do. I won't be doing this mix ever again! Please send feedback. Much appreciated!

That's a lot of adderral you did so the likelihood of you testing positive if tested on Tuesday is pretty high. I would say by Thursday it should be out of your system for urine test.

You have no worries as I am in the suboxone clinic also. I never take what they prescribe me because that's plain nuts to have to take 2 a day. When I started out I tried 2 a day for 3 days and I just kept getting sick and kinda felt euphoria and def didn't like the effects. My dr wouldn't drop my dose down so I was forced to do it myself. So I literally take a quarter in the morning and a quarter at night and I pass all my tests just fine lol. As long as its in your system you r fine trust me, but take some the night b4 and some that morning to make sure its fully in your system okay. I hope this helps you or anyone else. I was surfing for answers to another question I had but I saw this and felt the need to comment on here. So if on subs do what I said and you will be just fine. Most don't test levels just to see if it's in your system. I'm on monthly visits now and have been clean off everything for months and have been doing this since day 4. So good luck and feel free to any other questions on the suboxone, I'm pretty good at this pill/strip sad to say...

???suboxone doesn't come up as amphetimine so why does the subs matter.

If that was to me about the subs, i was posting to someone who posted about subs and somehow they erased the post asking about subs so that's why i even posted..sorry..it wasn't meant towards the top person's post. I'm new at posting. Maybe i just messed up n posted on the wrong thread lol, but at least if someone who needs to know, will know from my post...

My birthday was this weekend and we decided we were going to take Adderall. We took 15mgs each at 3am on Sunday, come to find out I have a drug screen this morning (very next day) at 8am. I drank cranberry juice, drank lots of water to where my urine came out damn near clear. Do you think I will pass my test? It was my first time trying it.

Hello. I weigh 235 lbs, 6'3 h. If I took a 5mg XR Adderall on Sunday morning and took a urinalysis drug test on Saturday morning, (about little over 5 1/2 to 6 days later) would I fail a drug test with a screening level of 500 ng/mL?

Re: eric (# 9)

Yes, you will be OK. I was on Methadone for 29 years then switched to Suboxone 8mg x2 a day...I usually only take 1/2 of an 8mg in the morning and 1/2 at bedtime... Have been on the suboxone for 3 years now and Dr. has never questioned me....Some clinics test for quanity some just to see if it is in your system. Hopefully your clinic tests just to see that it is in your system but not how much...Best of luck...

Well "rule" of any medicine OR metabolite (what the drug is broken into after digestion or processing by liver etc) is half life x 6= detectable time. Unfortunately half life of Valium is 60hrs so 60 hrs x 6 = 360 hrs. 360/24hr in a day = 15 days! There are exceptions to the rule and ironically Klonopin is one of them. It has a 40hr half life x 6=240hrs or 10 days BUT for "some" reason is really hard to detect and I tested negative 3 times having taken everyday for months and even the DAY OF my test. (I was supposed to test positive ironically, so I had opposite problem). But yes, Valium has no exception and you'll stay positive for AWHILE even on a single dose. I have my theories on the K pin issue, mainly b/c unlike every other benzo, K pins turn into an INACTIVE metabolite whereas Ativan, Xanax, and Valium keep breaking down into active ones the still keep working on the body. Sometimes as many as TEN metabolites created in the process which is why it has such a long half life to begin with.
