I took 20mg of ritalin 24hrs ago and I have a drug screen today. Will it show up as amphetamine or anything else?

YES IT WILL SHOW UP AS AN AMPHETAMINE.

One question. ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT?? DId you think it would't??

Get ready to pay the consequences for a dirty urine.

You deserve it, FOR BEING STUPID and endangering your life and that of your loss to your family

I am a methadone patient so I can say these things to you and these other dope addicts. i am one of you. FORTUNATELY I am not a lowlife like a lot of these folks are. I get so tired of hearing them their mouths, Calling Lortab, TABS, calling Oxycontin, OXY,, calling Xanax- BARS, Just plain low life drug addict behavior. Things like that is what made me start doing the right thing and getting my take homes and playing by the rules. Dont be a LOWLIFE- Don't kill yourself by mixing methadone. MIXING IT WILL KILL YOU-- Do you not understand that or just don't care??

You derided the guy after the damage was done. Recovery requires empathy, not spiteful reprimanding. Addicts will just shut down and write you off if you attack them verbally, especially if they've had rough childhoods and abusive parents. You just become more noise that they will tune out. Sensibly speaking, if you are on methadone and off the needle that's a good first step. Now it's time to look at the reasons why you got on the needle in the first place. I'm not sure if Ritalin will show up on a drug test, it's not technically an amphetamine, but if you don't have a prescription for it, it's better to play it safe. I would also suggest that you try and get into meetings and try to work a program.

I go to a methadone clinic and have taken Ritalin and have never failed for it BUT that only means my clinic doesn't specifically test for it, your clinic may or may not. To the person saying Ritalin is an amphetamine that is not true and you really didn't need to berate this person. They are on a methadone clinic, obviously they have had past issues and may have current issues but your response was uncalled for and it was false......... People on clinics obviously haven't been saints when it comes to using drugs, that is the reason they are at the clinic. Please don't give out misinformation and berate a person who is obviously worrying about failing a drug test, you should treat everybody especially addicts with care, compassion, and empathy. They know they have messed up and that first response given really disgusted me

JEFF - ARE YOU STUPID? Why, yes, you most certainly must be!! Ritalin and concetra show up and ARE Methylphenidate! Not amphetamines!! And at a methadone clinic, they will usually give u a chance. Not kick u right out. She said she wasnt a regular usuer, idk how or why youre being so JUDGMENTAL since you've been in methadone clinics as well!? Wow! Very displeased with ur tone and hopefully you dont fall while trying to get down off that high horse of yours. Think & DO RESEARCH, ecspecially before ranting and being so immature to be calling names and all. Jeez!

Well well Mr. I'm better then all ADDICTS... 1st of all if you're a Methadone client, then you would know that there's no Class when it comes to drugs & not able to be in control of your own habit, so now You're an Addict...oh but not a low life. You sound like 1 the way you just posted this calling a complete stranger you've never met in your life a low life?! You have no class on how to give out respectful advice. A stupid thought for this other person to think a methamphetamine would be out of his/her system in 1 day, unless he has 1 hell of a Metabolism, which isn't happening... Did you ever think that the words you just called this poor bloke, would possibly put em into a world of confusion? Of all some peoples lives that's all they heard for them to start using in the beginning... Your hateful words are more likely to kill this person, than 1 ritalin... Which no, isn't life-threatening, on methadone. It pushes the methadone out though which is uncomfortable on the person... Not all people get their phases because they like marijuana or dab... & as far as what people call the pills, that's been going on for hundreds of years! It's discretion..how do you know what they're called? For all they know, you could be bringing in someone else's urine? No need to be so hateful! You sound like you're an unhappy person, to shun someone off like that...what if this person's a kid, suicidal & here you are running your mouth off? Grow up & try to be kind, snitch!
