Yes, it is possible to show up on both amphetamine and meth. This pill is very similar to these drugs, and often can show the same effects if abused. The doctor usually recommends 1 pill per day but when someone takes over that amount they can even show signs other drugs. Over recommended amounts of Phentermine can cause dilated pupils, glossy eyes, dry mouth, etc, many similar signs to both meth and ampedtimine class of drugs.
I am currently a a doctor that provides Phentermine and I advise all my patients about the drug tests. Over the counter urine tests will almost always be positive, the only test that will not are high level test such as military, and few sports testing.
The active ingredient in phentermine is hydrochloride, unfortunately most if not all over the counter home drug tests positive for this in both sections, meth and amphetamine.
I know this to be true because I offer free drug testing for all my patients and every patient turns out positive. I allow 6 months of pills at the most and drug tests every 3 months, and then 1 final one drug test in month 7. I offer this so if any of my patients have to take a drug test outside my office, they can be cleared. However nothing is guaranteed when test are from other sources. My drug tests are over the counter home drug tests.

∙ 12y agoIt is possible if the amphetamine has a d amphetamine. Like adderol or Ritalin it can show positive for meth amphetamine. So make sure that you let them know if your prescribed those medications......

∙ 11y agoPhentermine is in the Amphetamines family. However, it falls in the l- category which is legal and so long as a prescription is present then the MRO (Medical Review Officer) will mark it as a negative result. This is assuming your company is requesting it be tested for specifically.
The amphetamines occur in two forms (isomers), the l- or legal form and the d- or drug (usually illicit) form.
Most drug tests follicle included are more looking for the illicit forms, i.e. Methamphetamine etc. Best thing to do is to be honest and upfront with the testing clinic and most likely IF it is detected it will most likely be written off as a negative result in conjunction with prescription usage. Phentermine, is considered by most non-safety sensitive fields to be irrelevant and thusly not tested for.

∙ 10y agoPhentermine is chemically related to methamphetamine and may result in a false positive in a screening test.
However, there are more accurate tests that can distinguish between the two. Without knowing precisely what method is being used for testing, it's impossible to say definitively whether it will or won't show positive for meth.

What over the counter cold med shows as meth in blood as test?
There is no cold medication that shows up as Meth on a drug test. Sudafed is used in the manufacture of Meth, but taking Sudafed will not make you test positive. While there are amphetamine based meds on the market, the test is looking for certain chemicals uniquely found in Meth. However, since meth is an amphetamine based drug, it is possible that a drug test could show a positive result if you are taking amphetamine based medicine. A drug test should not show a positive result in those circumstances, however not every manufacturer makes their tests the same. It would be your responsibility to inform the tester if you are taking amphetamine based meds PRIOR to the test.
Can Adderall show up on a urine test as methamphetamine?
It depends on the drug screen. If the drug screen is simply checking for "amphetamines", then meth and Adderall will both show up as amphetamines. However, many tests will distinguish between meth and amphetamines, and in this case, Adderall should test as an amphetamine while meth should test as meth.
