Adderall Tested Positive For Methamphetamine

Updated

Please help! I took a urine test and the results came back as positive for amphetamines and methamphetamines! And this was on a GC/MS test. I am taking generic Adderall and xanax and ambien, all prescribed. Nothing else! How can this be? I have never touched methamphetamine and am not a drug user. Any information or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Adderall is considered an amphetamine, which many drug tests look for. It's not the same thing as crystal meth (the illegal drug), so if you can show that you have prescriptions you should be in the clear. Good luck and let me know what happens !

I have a prescription for Adderall 10mg 1x daily. A urinalysis showed an amphetamine level of 3400ng/ml. Is that normal? high or low? where can I find this type of information at?

I just want everyone to know if you are on Adderall, watch what you take. I once failed a drug test for methamphetamine when I was on Adderall. I had always passed every single test but my allergies got really bad and I started using an over the counter inhaler which my doctor suggested. He didn't tell me what kind to get so I got the vics vapor inhaler and for three or 4 months I used it every night before I went to bed because it helped me breathe while I slept and sometimes in the morning it was spring time so i was stuffed up all the time. I had my drug test and after 3 months of using it failed for methamphetamine. I had been with same doctor office for 6 years and that doctor kicked me out and refused to see me anymore. I tried to explain and he wouldn't see me. I told his nurse and everything and I had to find a new doctor. That doctor looked at my inhaler and all my meds I was on and told me that inhaler had antihistamines in it and the combinations of my prescriptions with the inhaler and an occasional energy drink cause it; and I went off the inhaler and I was fine. I got my meds back. Please watch what you take. I got lucky. I found a new doctor that gave me a chance. I'm bad and I've been on it since I was 25 and I'm almost 40; because I got immune to Ritalin when I was around 25. Stupid testing didn't start till I was in my early 30s. I haven't touched antihistamines since I failed. I've been with my current doctor for about 4 years and he is awesome, so again just keep an eye on what you take as certain combos will make you have a false positive and so doctors and police won't send off to a lab to have it broke down. If they would have done that I would have been fine. Please be careful. It sucks when you depend on meds. I about lost my job losing my meds for 6 months. Good luck. I hope my story helps somebody.

The same thing happened to me. I take Adderall xr but I tried methamphetamine 4 years ago and I hated it. It gave me severe anxiety and I never touched it again. I take Xanax and Geodon and Cymbalta and I also use generic nasal spray like afrin and I have a neighbor who lives in a duplex next to me and my husband, and they do methamphetamine and I don't know which has caused my false positive for methamphetamine because I also take subutex from a different Dr and at first I was testing positive for methamphetamine at my psychiatrist and I had to find another psychiatrist and while my test was accurate at my subutex Dr, it was positive at my psychiatrist and they were taken only a couple of days apart. Then a month later I went to my psychiatrist and the test was accurate and a day later my subutex Dr tested positive for methamphetamine, so I need an explanation. This is so frustrating because I'm going to lose my Dr's and I have MS and my anxiety is horrible and I really need my anxiety medication. I have ADD really bad and it helps me focus on my work when doing my paperwork in management as a Hairstylist, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: RN HEAD (# 7) Expand Referenced Message

I am prescribed a low amount of Klonopin and I was prescribed Xanax and I totally got off of those on my own and the Dr switched me to Klonopin and now I hardly even take them. The only point that I was stating was that I had tested positive for methamphetamine and I don't do anything unless it is prescribed to me. I have MS and I have to manage my symptoms. You need to get right with God and not judge others because you don't know another person's situation.
