On a hair folicle drug test what will Adderall and Phentermine show up as
Will they show up as an amphetamine or as a methamphetamine? Is there anyway that Phentermine could cause a 'positive' for the same substance that Adderall causes a positive for?
I knew I should have taken organic chemsitry . . . Anyways . . . Obviously, phentermine is an amphetamine as is Adderall (comprised of four amphetamine salts), but I still don't know if they'd show up as 'amphetamine' or 'methamphetamine' on a drug test, as I don't know much about the body's metabolization of these drugs.
Here are the IUPAC names for the drugs, if they're of any help:
Phentermine = 2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine and 2-methyl-amphetamine
Adderall = 1-phenylpropan-2-amine
----------------------
Thank you in advance!
If I was not prescibed Adderall, but I was prescribed phentermine . . .

Adderall will show up as dextroamphetamine in a hair follicle drug test while phentermine shows up as methamphetamine. Both are derivatives of amphetamines which has the probability of giving a false positive result. In any case, if you are going to have a drug test, inform them first of your taking prescription drugs so they will be forewarned about any positive results that you might have.

Urinalysis and GC/MS Testing of Adderall
I am aware of the fact that Adderall will cause a positve result for amphetamines from urinalysis. It was my understanding that GC/MS testing could be used to confirm that the drug positive was for amphetamines and not methamphetamines.
However, the GC/MS came back as positive for Methamphetamines. Do you know if Adderall could produce a false positive for methaphetamine?????
PLEASE HELP if you can.

There is a big possibility for adderall to produce a false positive result for methamphetamine since they both contain amphetamines.
There is also a site that says that it does cause false positive results. Check out Erowid Methamphetamine Vault : Drug Tests
If you are taking Adderall, it may help mentioning it before taking any drug test. Hope this helps.

Phentermine is basically SPEED.
Methylamphetamine
So yes, it would test positive (+) for Amphetamine
Hope that helps.
