A member asked:
I took a adderall twice over a 2 day period for the very first time 3 weeks ago, then i was required to do a fingernail drug test, will it test positive?

No: Adderall has a short half-life, which is the time it takes for half the dose of a drug to be eliminated from the body. Dextroamphetamine, the primary ingredient in Adderall, has an average half-life of 10 hours in adults, 11 hours in teens aged 13 to 17 who weigh less than 166 pounds and 9 hours in children aged six to 12.
