I am 59 years old and have been on adderall since they came out and just two weeks ago i have a new dr and he gave me a drug test and took half my script away, told me adderall levels were too high; his reference (psychotic amounts) and i knew that was not true because i did not have any for a few days from having the flu. I just pick my script up 3 days before he called me in for a count and a test, everything was right, now here's the big question: I live in a house with an apartment upstairs & we share same heating and cooling ventilation. I know for a fact he is smoking methamphetamine and cooking it. I start coughing real bad and after awhile my little yorkies start thinking they're seeing fleas or bugs jump around and are trying to catch them. My other yorkie gets all skits out and wont lay down, walks around looking at the walls and personally i don't feel my normal self and the coughing is crazy, but i go outside and i am fine. That did happen a whole week before i had that appt. so could that methamphetamine have gotten into my system to make my levels of adderall so high?

I did pay 280$ for the gas chromatography test and I was cleared, test proved I only had adderall which I told them before i took my test, my job said that's great news but you can't have your job back there is no law in the state of Texas that protects citizens when it comes to drug tests

My son is taking lithium orotate and GH3 gerovita. He took a drug screen today and it came up positive for Adderall. He swears he has not taken Adderall in quite some time. Could the lithium have caused a false positive?

Adderall has no withdrawal. Methamphetamine does. In fact they are similar in effect but Methamphetamine is way more potent. Still keep our Adderall locked up. Addicts would love it.

I take Adderall and I just lost my job because I tested positive for methamphetamine. I told them to take my blood or have me take a lie detector test and they wouldn't even look at me -that urine test was the last word they took as absolute truth and my word as false. My world is in chaos.

So, CPS recently took my kids away when I failed a drug test for Meth, I HAVE NEVER DONE ANY ILLEGAL DRUGS!!, But I have been taking OTC Generic Recall brand Sudafed daily for the past year and NyQuil at night so that I can be relieved of my terrible allergies. I past several mouth swabs but then failed a hair strand test. It tested positive for Methamphetamine but negitive for amphetamine. Can you fail a Hair drug test for Methamphetamine but not amphetamine? Or would that be a false positive? All I want is my babies home so please help...

Hair test goes back 90 days, urine 5 days depends on dose and water intake. If positive they send out for gas test that tells if it's adderall or methamphetamine or source, it tells exactly what caused a positive.

The same exact thing happened to me when I was pregnant and on probation. I had severe heartburn during the last 4 months of my pregnancy. I started taking the OTC medication Ranitidine (Generic for Xantac). My probation officer, who by the way happened to be a wonderful woman, who helped change my life, needed me to do a drug screen. I said sure, we both went into the bathroom and I gave her the sample. She then said your urine is positive for meth, so I said of course, not thinking anything about it because I am and have been on methadone(was addicted to the prescription painkiller dilaudid, after the doctor gave it to me for severe pain from Lyme disease) for the past 3 years now. She said no honey methamphetamine, I just froze. I started to cry I told her that I did not do it repeatedly . She told me to stay in the bathroom while she walked down the hallway . I then came looking for her . I heard her speaking with another male probation officer that worked there . She was asking him if he knew of any medications or foods that could cause a false positive for methamphetamine's, he told her that was so many different ones. I heard her tell him she knew that I didn't do it but she didn't know what to do with the test because the judge had ordered the test. She decided to tell the judge that she had forgotten about it and, she hid the test and sent the remainder of the sample out to the lab. I did some research while waiting for the test results from the laboratory I found that ranitidine a.k.a. generic Zantac frequently caused false-positive for methamphetamine. I was so relieved and happy that someone she had actually believed in me enough to hide a test and send it out to a laboratory to be checked. I finally felt I was gaining some trust back. I truly felt exonerated, that was two years ago. I've been sober for a little over three years now. If you know you didn't do something don't let them just tell you that that's it. There are other, more sophisticated tests that can be performed. That's your good name and reputation on the line.

Where does it note this in the PDR exactly? We are having this issue with DHR and my partner who takes adderall. I need to show them it's possible.

If you have a prescription for Adderal you usually will show a positive result for amphetamine. This should be o.k. since it's a legal prescription. In addition high levels of amphetamine can cause a positive reading for the methamphetamine assay also even though no actual methamphetamine is present. Unless further testing is conducted by a different testing method (typicall a test called "Gas chromatography /mass spec") they cannot tell if you have ingested methamphetaminen or not..

While it is true that methamphetamines break down into amphetamines in your system, methamphetamines contain an extra CH3 molecule or methyl group, that makes it more potent. They are part of the same drug classification, however, they are NOT the same drug. It's like comparing morphine (semi synthetic) to heroin (completely synthetic).
