Amphetamines False Positive Drug Test Saliva

I also just tested positive with the oral swab for amphetamines after a minor fall at work. I am still waiting for the urine result because of course it happened on a weekend and they haven't analyzed it yet. My job hangs in the balance I take no prescription meds only an asthma inhalor. I went to security about my accident knowing full well they drug test you, voluntarily never expecting any kind of positive result for anything. ## I just read through these posts and one said menthol cigarettes! That is probably it, I do smoke menthol and the tester asked if I had had a mint that that sometimes will affect the results. Never occured to me it could be the menthol in my cigarette. Still waiting for UA result but feeling a little more piece of mind. ## my partner has had the same prob...

i recently tested positive for amphetamines during an oral swab drug test. i currently am taking a number of perscription medications, Buspirone, Clonazepam, Mirtazapine, Venlafaxine, & Quetiapine. I also take 800mg Ibuprofen as needed and an asthmatic inhaler when needed. I was wondering if any of these medications alone or combined could create a false-positive on the drug test i took? Any and all information given will b greatly appreciated as I'm trying to resolve this issue bc of its urgencey. Thanks you! ## I had samething just happen to me! I went strait to my pharmicist he told me cold meds cause the amphetamine to show up. I can't belive there is not a warning on the label. Anybody that had to get drug tested DONT TAKE ANY COLD MEDS WITHOUT CHECKING WITH PHARMICIST ...

I have tested positive twice now and cps is trying to have a court order to place me out of the home. I wasn't taking methamphetamine. I am prescribed multiple meds. Help me prove that it was a false positive. ## What meds are you taking? Certain meds (Adderall) may give a false positive for methamphetamine . Did they perform a second test by a different more expensive method to verify the original results. what were the results of the second test? ## I have worked for CPS and administered those tests. Adderall will make you test positive for Amphetamines only, which is fine. If you test positive for both Amphetamines and Methamphetamines its a positive for Meth. If you want to clear yourself request a hair follicle...because EVERYONE denies use, for obvious reasons... ## if the sin...

I take methamphetamine and want to know how accurate the saliva drug tests are? ## Based on my research, I'm led to believe that the accuracy would probably be diminished after 3-4 days or so. Saliva tests can only detect Methamphetamine up to 1-4 days after your last dose. In comparing saliva tests to other forms of drug testing, they can only be as accurate as the quality of the testing equipment. And to my knowledge false positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4-50% of the time. Does anyone else have more definitive details on this topic? ## What can you take that will show up as amphetamines on a saliva test ## I took methamphetamine on Tuesday evening til early morning on wednesday and I got a job interview on Friday morning will it show up on my saliva drug test ##...

I take Concerta 36mg daily, for ADHD, and am subject to random drug tests. I have heard that Concerta will show up as Methamphetamine on a urine test. Is this true? ## Concerta contains the active ingredient Methylphenidate, it is a stimulant medication that is similar to Amphetamines and Cocaine, so yes, it has been known to cause false positives, but usually for Amphetamines. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I just took concert yesterday and had a dipstick drug test that I spit on it and blow the saliva down the tube what would it show up as on that drug test ## No. It contains ZERO amphetamines. It is a time released version of methylphenidate which is the active carbon in Ritalin. ## ok, So I need some help here. I had a surprise drug and alcohol test.. The night before...
