Tramadol isn't remotely related to amphetamine in anyway so it would not show up as amphetamine. I have heard conflicting info on if it shows up as an opioid so I would bring the bottle and leave it in the car for interviews, just in case. I don't like listing prescriptions that don't show up on drug tests just in case they discriminate so I wish there was a clear answer regarding it showing up as a opiate.

Actually, you're completely wrong, I've just done a urine drug screen, and the ONLY drug I've taken is Tramadol, and the test came back positive for Amphetamine - I'm absolutely astounded, and livid, and I'll be bringing it up with the testing people. I've done some searching on the Internet, and I can see it's actually happened to plenty of people.

What the hell? Don't be ridiculous tramadol won't come up as anything. No synthetic pain killer of any sort will come as amphetamine. Only way it would be false positive or if you are taking stimulants..

I’ve been taking tramadol & mirtazapine now for over 3 years and I have failed 3 tests all positive for methamphetamines when I have not used it?

It may not be an opiod, but the fact is, it can trigger a false positive for amphetamine in certain urine tests. Whatever the method is that is used to identify certain drugs, they are not perfect, and it would appear completely unrelated drugs can trigger a false positive. I know this for a fact, as I did a urine screen, and had only had tramadol (for over a month, nothing else at all except this) and I got a false positive for amphetamine. I've read of other people getting the same experience on the 'net. It might need other conditions as well, such as being dehydrated. I hadn't had much to drink for a day or two, and my urine appeared somewhat darker than usual. Its possible this factor combined with the tramadol/ tramadol metabolites led to the false result. Either way, it is serious fault, that could ruin lives and cause immense damage to some people or their families. It should be made known and mentioned to anyone taking the test, along with any other of these anomolies.
