Can Adderall cause a Urine Test to show positive for methamphetamine?

Absolutely! The urinalysis tests for any and all amphetamines, and methamphetamine is just one derivative. Similarly, Adderall is a combination drug comprised of two amphetamine salts, dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. Any of the three WILL show positive for amphetamines on a urine/drug test.For how long is it detectable in urine?Adderall is usually detectable in urine for as little as 24 hours and as long as 4 days after you stop using the medication. If you have been taking Adderall over a lengthy period of time, it may be detectable for up to one week.On average, amphetamines are cleared from your system within 72 hours; however, this varies depending on your body's size, type, and physiological functions.--- UPDATE: YES, THEY CAN BE DIFFERENTIATED...I notice a couple of answers claiming that Adderall amphetamines would not show positive on a methamphetamine test. The CORRECT answer is YES IT WILL SHOW AS POSITIVE. At this point, a competent lab would proceed to using standardized differentiation tests to figure out the source of the methamphetamine. The laboratory may run up to 3 distinct tests to produce a complete amphetamine profile.

The challenge for the laboratory is to differentiate between the d and the l isomer forms of methamphetamine. The clinician needs this critical information because without the d:l-isomer ratio, the clinician is unable to narrow down the potential sources of the methamphetamine.

Is it possible to be fired after starting a new job after a background check at a company like Google or Apple? What do those background checks include?

Let's start with, yes you can be terminated if your background check highlights something concerning especially if you haven't disclosed this in advance.Most companies will check to ensure that what you have claimed on your resume/CV is accurate:You actually did work at X in Y positionYou do have a degree from So and So UniversityYou really were caring for your sick granny and weren't in prison.The rest is to make sure that you do not pose an unacceptable risk:Criminal record check - to make sure you're honest or at least they know what they are taking on.Financial check - are you likely to attempt to defraud themMedia check - will you bring them into disrepute.Provided you are honest at interview and the background checks match what was said then there is nothing to worry about. It's when you've lied (even by omission) that they may terminate as the Company is likely to have lost trust and confidence in you.
