My friend was taking 20 mg xr 24 hr focalin for about a month every other day and stopped for the past week and has been drinking ab 6 bottels of water a day. She now is taking 5 mg foclin for energy and has to pass a drug screen in a week. Should the xr focalin be out of her system? And how long does it take for 5 mg focalin to not show up in a urin test?

I asked a doctor and they said no. It is not amphetamine or methamphetamine. On a typical 5 panel it is not tested for.

They have to do a specific test for methylphenidate not amphetmaines like most. Focalin doesn't show up in a regular panel test it has to be tested for specifically. I am a nurse and get this question a lot.

Focalin is a stimulant, which contains Dexmethylphenidate and yes, these are typically tested for on must drug screenings.

However, if you have a prescription for it, then all you need to do is inform them of this, when you go in for testing.

Are there any other comments or questions?

Most drug screens rest for Amphetamine and Methamphetamine. But foclain is neither. Foclain is Methylphenidate. And in order to find it in a UA they have to specifically rest for it. And I'm guessing your primary physican isn't a pro at UA's so they may not know that it won't show up. Maybe suggesting that they test spicifically for Methylphenidate. Also if they let u look at the UA results you should be able to see exactly what they are testing you for. Hope that was helpful:)

"Ok for the comment on flushing your system with water or citrus doesn't work for marijuana" Ok first off I don't mean ANY offense to anyone especially the person who posted the above opinion. Not sure how much experience you really have with marijuana but you can drink a s*** ton of water, tea, even coffee, anything that makes you piss a lot is going to clean you up. I know from personal experience with days in advance and also by watching my FAT dad do it in like a 7 hour period because he had his p.o. randomly drop by (after my dad just tested a few days before and was clean from flushing) and asked for a drop and he just started chugging as soon as his p.o. was gone, went down to his office right before closing like 5pm and was clean. My dad's a career criminal, which sucks to say, but he's used this method for over 20 years and its never failed. Plus a couple others. My only other advice is if you know when your going to have a drop or your just plain out worried about how much could possibly be hiding out in your fat cells drink like 2-3 gallons worth of whatever. It's a lot more then you'd probably need but you should be able to tell when your pretty much clean and clear. And if you want to make sure everything is clear you can go purchase a wide variety of drug tests from Walgreens, CVS, and Wal-Mart or even just get one to try my opinion or experience for yourself.

It is not an amphetamine, therefore doesn't show up as such

I've been taking 60 mgs of extended release focalin for a few days. When will i be able to pass a drug test?

Well for one thing focalin has a very short half life 2-4hrs. So after last dose just say for example if you took 5mg on Monday 8am then at 12:00 you would only have 2.5mg left in your body then at 4pm you would have about 1.2mg left that's a rough figure. Focalin ain't gonna show up on a drug test anyways cause it's not an amphetamine unless they test specifically for that drug but it's still not gonna come up as amphetamine..

Sorry to disagree so very late. I know it's been a few years since you posted this answer. Anyway, I get drug tested weekly and I've gone in an hour after having taken a Focalin capsule and all my urine drug tests have come back clean. So either it doesn't show up or it has to be tested for separately from the rest of the panel and most places don't seem to bother unless you've been known to abuse ADHD meds and/or illegal uppers, or you are cure taking it as prescribed and your doctor wants to monitor your compliance in taking it by testing the levels of the medication in your system. Those are the only two reasons/ways I can see that Focalin would show up in a urine test.

Re: salssgirl (# 4) Expand Referenced Message

It will NOT show on drug screen. Focalin is made of Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride and yes is a stimulant but does not contain amphetamine and will not show any ANY drug screen, even a 12 panel. In am in drug court and they made me stop adderal and any type of amphetamine. However I researched and found focalin and does not show in drug screen. I've been taking it for 7 months daily with random drug screens and never has it shown. They would have to send it to lab and test specifically for Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride . then it would show as Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride but NOT amphetamines.

Marijuana, unlike any other drug, breaks down in your rich brown fast. So water doesn't work. Also citrus helps get amphetamines out of your system quicker. Water and citrus for everything but weed, which is just time and exercise

I found out that all people process drugs dif. I had many test done but for some reason my foclun 15 mil doese not show up.I change my diet and workout and I even brought my preworkout to get it approved. All clinics use diff company's knowing they are not accurate. So do your own.

My ten year old takes hers every morning but it did not show up in her urine or blood. She only missed taking it for one morning then was tested and it didn't show up. How is this possible? How long does focalin 10mg stay in a ten year old's system?
