I'm not sure if you are referring to Methamphetamine or Methadone, but early on when first starting Suboxone, I tested positive for Methadone. They sent it to a lab and after testing my urine for everything from THC, Opiates, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Tylenol, Nocatine, Alcohol, etc. The lab reported back to my doctor it was the OTC Benadryl that caused the false positive for Methadone, since I was taking 2 tablets every evening before bedtime.

Adderral contains amphetamine which can cross react and give a positive for meth (Methamphetamine) test. Unless they did further testing using a more sophisticated method such as GC/MS they can't tell if the positive meth test is coming from the Adderral. GC/MS confirmatory test seperates amphetamine and methamphetamine and can tell if one or both are present

Adderal contains amphetamine. High levels of Adderal can cross reactt with the methamphetamine assay to give a false positive result. This could be sorted out if additional confirmatory testing was performed using more sophisticated instruments(such as GC/MS) to determine if the positive result was really due to methamphetamine or coming from the Adderal. At our lab we see this happening fairly often.

Ha ha. Good one. This person is a complete beginner. Make sure you tell them that if they take methadone it will show up as cocaine and if they eat Vicodin it will show up as LSD!!!! Haha

adderal contains amphetamine which at higher doses cross-reacts with methamphetamine and can give false positive methamphetamine results when using tests that use the "immunoassay" technology which is the basic test used for screening. Some places then use a second "confirmatory" test using Gas chromatography mass spec instrumentatiion which can verify or refute the prescence of methamphetamine. without the second test you wouldn't know that the methamphetamine result was incorrect.

I am disabled as well as on pain management and was recently informed that I tested positive for meth. I don't understand because I have notam am not doing meth. I was recently prescribed trazodone to replace my depression medication due to cost. I'm also prescribed verapamil for high blood pressure and adderall for HDHD as well as Imterex shots for my migraine headaches as well as many other prescriptions. They offered little help and just informed me that I needed to find a new PM doctor which I don't even know where to begin. Please help.!

Absolutely unequivocally positively (lol sorry) completely... NO.
Without getting into a big scientific explanation, sub and meth are two completely different chemicals that are in no way similar(and your body breaks them down into two different substances that are even further apart) and have two completely separate tests.
