False Positive For Methamphetamine

I tested positive for Methamphetamine after taking 250 mg of Nuvigil daily for 8 yrs. Also I was taking Wellbutrin SR 300 mg and Abilify daily. Is this possible?

As an veteran shrink and psychopharmacologist, I know Wellbutrin could do it and possibly Nuvigil. I always get the therapist's (some are MSWS; others are PhDs and MDs) for their take on the patient and I speak with him/her myself. But that's in an affluent hospital where pats voluntarily admit themselves for Detox and Rehab. (And, NO, I don't permit any 12-Step Cultists to "visit".) The "drug tests" we're talking about here usually are the cheaper ones and the programs don't involve much therapy. (If I'm wrong, please tell me.) I"d research Nuvigil...right now....Wellbutrin is def in the ball park. Seems like my initial impression that Nuvigil and Prodigal are so different chemically they shouldn't cause a pos for methamphetamine were confirmed. I THINK you can get into it. I remember years ago, I had to provide my med school, my license #, address on my license to practice, but they've loosened up some....I can't summarize it b/c I'm reading it myself....I can only send it to non-subscribers via email. Up to you.
