False Positive On Drug Test For Adderall

Can Adderall give a false positive test for Methamphetamine and not for Amphetamines? ## Yes, Adderall has been known to cause a false positive for Methamphetamines on drug tests and it is actually noted in the PDR drug reference information for physicians. Since Amphetamines and Methamphetamine are distantly related, it really isn't too surprising that this could occur. Has this happened to you? ## This has happened to me twice now. I have never touched methamphetamine, but am prescribed generic adderall or d-amphetamine salt combo. I need to find references as to where I can prove that this is common in a urinalysis test. ## Yes it can. It happened to me. Which resulted in cps removing my 2 children from my home for a month while they called my Dr. and checked medical records. I t...

Today I went to probation to submit to my twice weekly urinalysis test. They told me that I have been coming up positive for methamphetamine the last few tests. They said they let it slide due to the fact that I take Adderall. Is this common in an instant drug test? Will I be vindicated in the send away lab test? No, I have never used meth- ## Yes, it is very common on those types of tests, when you take Adderall for it to cause a false positive for Methamphetamine. I really don't think you have anything to worry about, as it seems they are well aware of it and are not penalizing your for it in any way. Learn more Adderall drug details here. False positives can happen on these types of tests anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Are there any other comments or questions?

I have just taken a pre employment urine drug test and tested positive for methamphetemines and amphetamines and I'm prescribed Albuterol sulfate for my breathing treatments and a Ventolin inhaler. And I don't take any illegal drugs so can these medications give a false positive? ## I took a drug test today and failed for Adderall it's been nine days since the last time I've taken Adderall they are sending it to the lab for more detail what will that mean for me ## I recently tested a false positive on my drug test for cocaine. I don't do drugs. It was actually my condition a kidney infection that caused me to test positive. I have found a way to prove my innocence. I gave a place a hair sample that goes back 90 days.

I take adderall er 20mg 2 tabs each morning. Also: Combivent, advair diskus, dulera, clonidine, quetapine, lisinopril, metoprolol, montelukast, sumstriptan, Sudafed and flunisolide. Can these interact and show up positive for Methamphetamine on a mouth swab drug test?

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 have had 2 urine drug screens w a 2 1/2 wk difference between. The first GC/MS + phenobarbital >1000ng & the 2nd + 816ng. I've never taken this drug before. The meds I do take are: gabapentin, tramadol, ibuprofen, sumatriptan, omeprazole. Please help! ## Nothing you've listed is known to cause false positives for any type of Barbiturates, including Phenobarbital. Has your doctor had any ideas as to what may be causing it? Did you take anything else, even over the counter products? ## Not true. Google NSAIDs (ibuprofen) and phenobarbital. Several stories from legitimate sources about them causing a false positive for barbiturates. I know because I am arguing with my doctor over this very thing right now. I take Adderall and am required to get drug tested. She said anoth...

I am being drug tested for cps and I am on suboxone, adderall, klonopin and gabapentin. It's showing up on the drug cup as methamphetamine and mdma, but my suboxone and other meds are not showing up. Why? ## Hi, I'm on state probation and I know I have to take a drug test everytime I go. Well I tested positive for Methamphetamine and they sent it to a lab and said it was still positive. I've never done methamphetamine and don't understand how or why it was positive. Could something else have made it positive or could someone have put some in a drink or something?

can the combination of these 3 medications cause a false positive for cocaine, adderall suboxone and clonaze ## No, none of the medications you listed are known to cause false positives for Cocaine. Were you taking anything else, even over the counter items? ## yes, milk thistle and omega 3 fish oil and avelox ## Mags, the Avelox more than likely gives you your answer. It contains Moxifloxacin, an antibiotic and many in this class are known to cause false positives for cocaine.

I take d-amphetamine salt combos 20mg twice daily, and I recently had a hair drug test for pre-employment purposes. I tested positive for methamphetamine at a level of 570ng/mg, but I have never touched meth! They already did the GC/MS, and are now doing an isomer test, but they say that my adderall could NOT have cause a positive meth result! I've seen in other responses that this is possible, however I can't find any documentation to prove this. I've read over the Adderall and methamphetamine information profiles on this site, but still don't have the proof I need. Does anyone know where I can find this documentation? Please help! ## Adderall does contain amphetamine, which is commonly reported as a false positive for Meth-amphetamine. So you are not alone on this. Man...

I am prescribed 30mg adderall twice daily and just had to take court ordered hair test and urine test. On the urine test amphetamine was all that showed positive, but the hair test showed up positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine. How is that? ## Possibly because some ADD meds contain methylphenidate which may come up as a meth by product or you have taken a different med or done meth at some point as hair test picks up substances taken alot longer time previous than a urine or blood test? ## I have used meth before, but i have been clean for almost three years now. ## Im needing some scientific evidence or something to prove that it is a false positive. Something that will stand up in court because this is keeping me from being able to see my child. ## In order to get evidence of...

I am in pain clinic which prescribes oxycontin 80 mg and 60 mg, oxycodone 30 mg and 15 mg as well as adderall 30 mg. drug screen came back positive for ritalin, not adderall and have been threatened with dismissal.

I'm terrified of being discharged. Any answers for me?? ## They are both, amphetamines, there's no way they could have know the difference.

I had a pre-employment 10 panel urine test done at LabCorp and resulted through e-Drug Test. I was taking oxycontin, adderall, allegra, seroquel and clonazepam. It resulted positive for amphetamines (from the adderall) and negative for benzodiazepines (although my use of clonazepam was daily and long term). The problem is it tested POSITIVE for propoxyphene. I simply do not understand it. I even paid to have it sent to a second lab to be retested because I had never taken propoxyphene (darvocet, darvon, etc). It was positive at the second lab as well. Propoxyphene was taken off the market years ago. I need to be accountable for this, but how can I prove that I didn't take the medication? The whole thing is ridiculous because why on earth would I take propoxyphene when I had a valid ...

I am taking adderall and clonazepam and my urinalysis showed up as methamphetamine. Is one of these drugs causing this? ## Yes. The adderall. It IS AN AMPHETAMINE. You will withdrawal from it as well. ## Does klonipin and d-amphetamine salts combo show positive in urine anylis? ## Sure wish people would think before they post a question... think about it, adderall clearly states on the capsule/bottle: Amphetamine Salts.... do you really have to ask why you failed a drug test for methamphetamines? Slap yourself, Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine, and the test would reflect the same....Think people, God gave you brain, use it and put the pills down

Can you get a false positive while taking Soboxone for Methamphetamine? ## 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. ## I am disabled as well as on pain management and was recently informed that I tested positive for meth.

On 8/19/14 my Doctor prescribed me 5 mg quick release tabs of Oxycodone for approx. 6 months, for neck pain(fusion), 3 slipped disks & a bulging disk, the OCYcodone was too strong for me, and on 9/25/14 the Dr. tried Norco 7.5/325 along with Nucynta ER for 2 days prior to a urine drug screen. Finally he dropped the Nucenta and tried Norco 10/325 three a day and I took that for 14 days. On the 3rd day of the 10/325 Norco he took a urine test, and although I haven't taken an Oxycodone since 9-26-14, today he told me I "failed" the drug test. I was wondering how long the Oxycodone stays in my system? Or could the Norco or Nucenta cause a false-positive for Oxycodone. At the time I had diabetes type 2 and took Metforman, also took Xanax (PRN), Adderall (PRN) and an SSRI call...

I was given a ua test today (January 28-2015) at my new pain management clinic and it tested positive for methadone. I have never even seen that drug let alone taken it. I am taking Cymbalta, trazadone, adderall, and have taken benadryl the last few nights. I also take 800mg ibuprofen about 2-3xs a day and 650 tylenol 2-3xs a day. Can any of those combinations cause that false positive for methadone? I'm just totally dumbfounded about this because I have never ever touched, seen or taken that stuff? I was not even sure what it is used for until the doctor told me!!! Please help me figure this out! They are sending it to the lab for further testing but I am hoping to have some sort of answers as to how it happened in the first place. Thank you anyone who can help me.
