not routinely: Methylphenidate, or ritalin, will not routinely show up on a drug screen. It is not an amphetamine like adderal, which will show up on 5-panel federal or non federal screening. Certain "panels of abuse" with contain methylphenidate in addition to numerous other substances both legitimately prescribed as well as illegal substances.
