A member asked:

Can ritalin (methylphenidate) and adderal show up the same on a urine drug screen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: If you're experimenting with drugs, you need information about addiction, not drug testing. Call (504) 899-6262 to talk to someone at narcotics anonymous for help.
