No. Adderall shows up on a drug test as methamphetamine (essentially no different than if you were doing meth). This is because the product contains amphetamine salts. But because amphetamines are PRESCRIPTION ONLY, you will not find them in any over the counter drugs.

If you are taking any medication that caused a false positive, the sample can be retested with a different type of test to rule out over the counter medications.

What would cause a drug test to show positive for amphenedime?

A few things may have caused this. The first being prescription drugs used to treat ADD or ADHD like Adderall or ritalin. The second thing that may have cause a false positive could be any kind of OTC or prescription drug containing epinephrine or sudephederine. Theres a few other drugs that can cause false positives but I cant remember.


Can adderall help you pass a marijuana drug test?

No. It is very unlikely for one drug to cause a false positive on a drug screen for any other substance. Drug screens test for metabolites of specific drugs. All drug tests have a rating based on specificity and sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the lower the specificity. Basically it is only possible to have a false positive by using another drug that is very chemically similar to the positive test. These drugs are not chemically similar.


What substances would give a false positive as amphetamines on a drug screen?

If no illegal drugs were used then its a false positive. Some prescription meds have amphetamine i.e. adderall. If you aren't on any ADHD meds then it is most likely from the otc sinus meds, and/or acid reducers ranitidine zantac can/probably will cause a urine test to show positive also.
