Yep. In most cases there are many similar prescribed drugs to the ones on the streets, so if you have to take a drug test tell them what medications you have a prescription for -- I don't think it is legal for them to discriminate against you for failing due to your legally prescribed medication, but legal means federally legal which excludes medical cannabis. If they discriminate I'm also maybe 70% sure you might be able to sue them under the ADA or some other law.

If you have a prescription what will happen on drug test?

If you test positive fro a drug that you require on the recommendation of a doctor then that would explain why you are using as oposed to abusing a particular drug. You tell whomever it is that is ordering your drug test (not the lab) that you are taking prescription medication that will cause a positive result on your drug screen (assuming that the medication that you are on is actually one of the drugs tested for), and give him/her a copy of your prescription. Your doctor doesn't need to explain anything-that's what the prescription is for.

How do you get your medication prescribed and filled at the pharmacy?

A doctor will have to give you a prescription and then you take it to the pharmacy for a refill. If you look on the label it will tell you (1) or (2) and this is how many times you can refill this medication. It will also tell you how many to take per day and your pharmacist should give you a "print out" of the medication so you know what the drug is for, if you should take it with food or without food and side effects.

Do all ADHD medications show up as methamphetamine on drug tests?

No. Some will give a false positive for methamphetamine, depending on amount of medication in system. Most ADHD will show up as other types of amphetamines though; depending on precision and scrutiny of lab work order.
