It's fine - I was nervous too. It feels good to get anecdotal evidence



Your employer may not be sending your samples for actual testing. I've seen people test positive for amphetamine on a drug screen from adderall ingestion and lose their jobs. If OP doesn't have a script he has solid reason to be concerned.

I've been withheld from work for multiple days because of a positive screening from Adderall and I do have a script. Just go to the doctor and get one.

Basically, they will concentrate on the root area. In hair, the only real issues are from addicts who abuse drugs. They can find that activity. Butbthey really arent looking for a one time pill that someone took months before. Is it "possible" to find? Probabaly not. But the costs in getting that detailed of a tests outweighs what the company wants to spend.
Every persons body will metabolize a drug at different efficacy rate, depending on the alleles in their pathways.

I think there is ZERO chance they look for or even find your adderall.
Biwnif you're lying and take them everday, a nuch higher oresence would be in the root system



The cost is determined by the panel test required. It ranges from 5 panel to 12 panel each panel upgrade includes more substances. The panel test is determined by the employer with the majority being 5 panel which is marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, PCP and cocaine.

My policy tests for panel 12 which is the above as well as methamphetamines, benzodiazepine, barbiturates, methadone, methaqualone, propoxyphene, ecstasy and oxycodone.

Mine is dictated by facilities we work in while some only require 5 panel some require 12 so it is just easier for me to have all use the same testing. Medical Review Officers I talk with have a general consensus that chronic users will have evidence in hair follicle for an average of 6 months. Certainly some more, some less. I spent $27k on drug testing alone last year-it’s not a cheap policy to run.

Had a potential hire show up for testing, hair follicle, oral swab, breathalyzer, urine and left, showed back up an hour later with a shaved head and arms. Clinic called me and I told them don’t test just send him home. It wasn’t I didn’t want to hire him because he might test positive for drugs. I didn’t want to hire him because he’s a dumbass.

The cost is also determined by the sensitivity depth of the hair test.

Again, there is ZERO chance a company will see an adderall pill from 2 months prior in a hair follicle. The hair concentrates on ABUSE

Not saying what you just posted is wrong. But panel size is different than sensitivity of the test.

In the OPs case, im not sure hes a new hire or what.

OP, find a doctor friend and get a one time script for adderal. IF simething shows up, just shiw them you had a legal scriot, tried it once, and hated the feeling it gave you.

Case closed

How do you know of a screening months in advance?
So you knew and still took the pills?

I'm going to keep quoting this solution.

Obviously the way to go here.

Sorry, I should have added that whoever you took the test for probably doesn't care. They can and do test for it.

Tbh, I completely missed the don't care part. Sorry.

Why do you people come here and ask these questions? Just google it and you can get actual real intelligible information.

Took 2 last week. Use them rarely and do not abuse them. What are the odds they show up in a hair follicle test if I have a screening in mid June? I do not have a script.

Go to a psychiatrist off bluebonnet with a foreign name. It's easy to bullshite your way into a Vyvanse script there. Make appt ASAP.(Vyvanse shows up the same as Addy on screens).

Worried about a drug test?

Hmmmm,

You still do, but you use to, too.

I take prescription Adderall. Every time I’ve done a random drug screen, whether hair or urine, the lab has called for me to submit proof that it is prescribed.

Same for me, never had to take a hair test though.
