Methylphenidate Blood Test

I take 34 mg concerta. Will this show up in chain of custody blood test? does a false positive mean positive? ## I don't know what you mean by a chain of custody blood test. Could you please clarify? As to the Concerta, it contains the active ingredient Methylphenidate and can be detected on tests that look for it, though not all do. And a false positives means that there was a positive result that should not have happened and is not accurate. An example would be someone taking Morphine, but getting a positive drug test result for Oxycodone, instead of Morphine. They are related medications and this has been known to happen.

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...
