adderall and drug test | ADHD Information

ha, i got drug tested and showed up positive for meth a months ago, and i nearly sh*t myself because i knew i didnt do any meth, and people administer drug tests dont believe you for a second when you say "i dont know what that is or how it showed up". but luckly they took it to a lab and it showed it wasnt meth.As long as you disclose that you are prescribed this medication, most companies will not consider positives due to prescribed meds. [QUOTE=sakura]

What about Focalin XR, how does it show up.  My son maybe starting a job and they drug test.  I told him he needed to tell the screener that he has ADHD and is of Focalin XR and Wellbutrin and could provide a doctors note and prescription if needed.

Anyone know how it does show up, just curious?  This is new, he is 18 and new to the job scene.  He is currently in the job search.

So—does anyone here have any experience with this; “Whether they [the testing company] can or will disclose this information [the fact that you will test positive for PRESCRIBED adderall] to your [potential or current] employer?”

I was wondering how the adderall will show up on a drug test.  I have to take one for a new job and did not know if this ment I have to come clean about my dx and meds.

Adderall is an amphetamine. Take your prescription with you to the facility so you can prove you have a prescription and you aren't just a speed freak! I don't know whether they can or will disclose this information to your employer.

Anytime that a med you are taking shows up on the drug screen they ( the screening company) will ask you about it and as long as you have prescription for the med then it will be OK. Depending on the company and type of testing that they do they will have a Medical Review Officer that will review the test and contact you if there are any questions as to why the test shows up positive,however as I mentioned before as long as you have a prescription then it will be Ok. I deal with this quite often. I am the drug and alcohol program coordinator for my employer. Would Conserta show up on a drug test?
