A member asked:
Does amphetamine appear as a false positive of ritalin (methylphenidate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a drug screen, : methylphenidate, the generic name for Ritalin & other preparations, does not show up as amphetamine. Amphetamine products like Adderall & Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) can show up in a drug test, but are not a problem if the persons being tested present their prescription bottles at the time of testing.
