I imagine dex would return a positive test for amphetamines. Anyone know for sure?

Would Ritalin return a positive test on a drug test for amphetmines? Do most drug tests(work related) test for Ritalin or just the standard amphetamines/benzo's/cocaine type stuff?

Anyone had any experiences? I couldn't find much on google in regard to this.

as long as you have a legal prescription, it does not matter. the ones i have taken for jobs ask you to write a list of all meds you take (including otc). it will come up, but it is not illegal, and all they are reporting back to the company is illegal drug use. (so you dont have to explain your diagnosis)

if you are taking it illegally obviously that is a different story.

Anyone know if Ritalin would return a positive test for amphetamine?

If no, do most work place drug tests test for Ritalin?

no and no. and like i said, if you have a prescription, there is nothing to worry about. your company(-to-be) will not be informed about your diagnosis!

Dex will definitely give a positive test for amphetamines. Not sure about ritalin. :)
