Yes it will. I had a pre-employment drug screening three months ago. When I gave my sample they testing company were not interested in my medicatioln list. They said their policy is to first get a positive reading on the test and then contact the person and invite them to explain why. They did not contact me and my *new employer's HR person* called me to state that the testing company was trying to get hold of me. When I called them they said they had left messages for me - yet none were found on either of my voicemails. They sai dthat my test had come back positive for amphetamines. I was furious at what I saw as their incompetence. I faxed them a prescription and they contacted my company five minutes later to say that my drug screening was negative.
If this were happening again I would probably go off my medication for a week or look for another way to ensure my test was negative. The system is setup to protect confidentiality but the system is only as good as the people who staff it.
Good luck, be careful.
> I have been taking dexadrine for ADD. for employment i am required to take a drug test. will this show up possitive for meth/amph? there are two different types of tests, meth/amph and just amphetamines. will it show possitive for both?? sorry for the spelling THANK YOU
