Stimulants Can meth metabolize into amphetamines on a drug test?

[OpiateKiller]

I failed a drug test at my clinic a few weeks back after using meth, however the only the I failed for was amphetamines. She asked if I took adderall and I just said yes, surprised.

Does this make sense? It’s definitely not just amphetamines I mean it’s clear crystals, looks just like meth...

Depends on test but yes you will fail a drug test for amphetamines after using meth.

I woulda thought that was obvious though? Who uses meth before an amphet test?

Meth is metabolized into amphetamine in vivo.

Yeah, same thing happened to me.

Wasn't really surprised but it's not a horrible question. Just sounds funny

I knew I was going to fail honestly I just thought it would be for meth. I didn’t care though all my tests have been clean so I knew it wouldn’t matter to my therapist

it’s a vial sent off to a lab, I’m sure they test for a ton of substances, I was just surprised meth didn’t pop up

Some tests are able to distinguish between methamphetamine and amphetamine - like the one’s used by NSW police. Others give a positive for amphetamine when you really took Methamphetamine (which gives you an out if you are on ADHD meds).
