Will Ritalin show a false positive on a hair follicle drug test?

Yes Methylphenidate (Ritalin) will show up on the hair screen as it metabolizes into compounds that form the basis for the test. The same compounds that Meth metabolizes into so it's important you have a current prescription for it. I did fortunately have a current script when it showed on my test. And they asked for a script for it specifically. As it was explained to me once something is detected they do more specific tests to determine if it's Class 1 or lower. Class 1 being street drugs with no authorized medical use in the U.S. ( initial screening will test for methamphetamine AND Amphetamine )
all standard hair test cover 90 day s IF you have1.5" if you have.5" then they only see 30 days aprox . ( metabolite degrade after this period )However it was also explained to me that while hair tests supposedly cover a 90 day period that in fact the longer its been since you took a drug the less likely the hair test will detect it. they didn't know why but it explained why they didn't detect Soma or Oxycodone which I had taken 6 weeks earlier for a back injury.

∙ 6y agoDrug tests are mostly quite specific (there are tests that look for a common metabolite of a certain category of drugs ... for example, heroin, morphine, and several other opiates are turned into the same thing by the body, and that's what the test is actually looking for). Ritalin will show up as Ritalin, if they're testing for Ritalin. If they're not testing for Ritalin it probably won't show up as anything.

How long does methylin or Ritalin stay in urine?
Ritalin can be detected for 1-5 days in urine, but it is not part of the SAMHSA/ NIDA-5 standard drug test. Also Ritalin can cause false positives for methamphetamine/ amphetamines. If you have a prescription for it, notify them before the test. Or if test came up positive and you did not use meth, you should insist on additional GC/MS testing.
