Specializes in Psychiatry

No: The ua would test positive for amphetamine if you take amphetamine. Any questions on initial screens are confirmed by further testing anyway. Zoloft (sertraline) & Alprazolam are not amphetamines. If there is amphetamine in your system though, the tests will find it.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
