No, Phentermine is not an Amphetamine. Phentermine is, however, similar chemically to the Amphetamines. Phentermine is also a Controlled Substance, but does not show up on a drug test as amphetamine.

depends on the test. their are simple tests that yes it will show as an amphetamine, but there are more complex tests that can show where the positive result came from. So it can tell the difference between lets say meth and taking a cold med with pseudo ephedrine in it. Most times you have to ask for the latter test.

Yes. Phentremine shows up as cocaine in your system. If you got them from a doctor he will write you a note to show to your employer.

Yes, could.


Your sister tested positive for amphetamines in her urine could this mean that she is using crystal methamphetamine or would that show up as positive for methamphetamine?

She would most likely test positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine. One of the breakdown products of methamphetamine is regular amphetamine, so a positive result for methamphetamine is basically needed to discriminate a positive amphetamine as due to ingestion of meth vs ingestion of amphetamine. So basically, your sister's test should be positive for methamphetamine also if she did crystal meth.

Will adipex affect a urine drug screening test for preemployment?

Though it is classified under the amphetamine and phenethylamine family, it is not actually an amphetamine, but rather an appetite suppressant used to treat obesity called an anorectic. It can however, pop positive for amphetamine on a drug test, but then they can test further to show it was adipex. (If you have an rx you are good) Personally I have taken adipex a day and a half before a test and passed, but I have read all over the internet people saying it can cause a false positive. One way you could get the answer for yourself would be to buy an OTC drug test and take the test after using adipex for two days and see what happens!

What over the counter cold med shows as meth in blood as test?

There is no cold medication that shows up as Meth on a drug test. Sudafed is used in the manufacture of Meth, but taking Sudafed will not make you test positive. While there are amphetamine based meds on the market, the test is looking for certain chemicals uniquely found in Meth. However, since meth is an amphetamine based drug, it is possible that a drug test could show a positive result if you are taking amphetamine based medicine. A drug test should not show a positive result in those circumstances, however not every manufacturer makes their tests the same. It would be your responsibility to inform the tester if you are taking amphetamine based meds PRIOR to the test.


What substance could make a drug test come back positive for methamphetamine's?

Erowid.org has a list of all the substances that can throw a false positive for meth. It is a VERY long list--probably 80 different drugs including diet aids, cold pills and a lot of prescription medicines. Meth is a phenethylamine-class drug AND an amphetamine-class drug, so any drug that looks like an amphetamine, or any drug that looks like a phenethylamine (and there are a BUNCH of these, most not being any fun at all) will trigger a false positive for meth. It gets better: the first order metabolite of meth is amphetamine, so anything that will throw a false positive on an amphetamine test will also throw a false positive on a meth test. That having been said, most people don't test for meth at all--they look for amphetamine because methamphetamine (amphetamine with a methyl group attached) demethylizes in the liver quickly.
