Phentermine And Drug Test

I have been taking phentermine for a while and I don't have a prescription. I always assumed it was fake since it doesn't work good but I have a drug test tomorrow. so I want to know if I should tell the drug testing place I am taking it and show them the bottle or not tell them anything at all? Do they check the drs and or pharmacy to make sure you have a prescription for it? Also I tested positive for it 3 weeks ago at my pain management dr positive for amphetamines, but then the lab they sent my test to analyze it said it was negative but on the lab report it does show some numbers by the amphetamine but I don't know how to read this report...I also got hired years ago at the us postal service while taking this with no prescription and I don't think I told them I was ...

Am I safe to pass the test? I will be working at the hospital so I am not sure what kind of drug test I will have whether its urine or blood, can you please help me?? ## I have been taking phentermine as prescribed and will be taking a drug test how long will it be in my system ## Phentermine is usually not tested for in a standard NIDA 5 panel urine drug screen but since it similar to amphetamine I would guess that the detection period is about 2-4 days. ## Usually 72 hours.

How long do I need to discontinue taking my Rx Phentermine 30mg capsules before a pre employment drug screen to ensure I do NOT test positive from them? Even though its a valid Rx, the employer will NOT allow any positive results. ## Did you ever figure it out? I stopped taking it a week ago and am not sure if it will show up on a drug test.

I took phentermine and my UA CAME BACK CLEAN FOR METHAMPHETAMINE, but now they just did a hair sample. Will it test positive for methamphetamine? It's explainable if it does in the hair, but only if it's for amphetamine. I am in so much trouble. ## Most urine tests are not meant to pick up phentermine, especially a urine dip test like you would use at home. Also, most hair test are looking for specific chemical compounds called metabolites and if the metabolites are not there then the test will not show it in the results (negative). In order for a hair test to be positive it will have to have methamphetamine or amphetamine in the hair. Most labs are not looking for phentermine in a hair test. ## I have a hair follicle test for new employment. I am on a qsymia prescription. Will ...

I've been taking Phentermine, the first month I had half a pill then I skipped a month. And then half a pill the following month. I took a whole pill last month and went to my Dr who did a compliance drug screening to make sure I was taking the meds. I had lost 20 pounds as well. Got a letter from my Dr saying she can no longer prescribe the pills because it did not show up in my urine test. I have taken them daily since I had them. I was on my period both times I took the test. Does anyone know if that can affect the results? I also take paxil and 3 meds for blood pressure. I know for a fact the test is wrong. She will not do another test or even a different form of drug testing. When I do my test she has me leave it in a public restroom in the back of the toilet and has me leave. ...

I have been taking phentermine 37.5 for 2 weeks. I have a drug test in 15 days. Will it show in my system? ## The clinic that prescribed mine says that it can sometimes read as a positive result for amphetamines but that as long as you can show them your name on the Rx that it should be okay.

Does Phentermine show up as an Amphetamine on a drug test? My doctor has prescribed this for weight loss but I have to comply with DOT drug regulations. ## Does anyone have the answer to the drug testing because I'm trying to find out the same answer. ## Yes it will show up on a drug test - as an amphetamine. I know from first hand experience. ## WHO KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMPHETAMINE AND METHAMPHEDAIMINE ## ARE THEY CONSIDERED THE SAME WHEN IT COMES TO DRUG TESTING FOR PROBATION UA ## the drug test I was given showed positive for amph/methamph. (i had only taken phentermine of course) and most or all tests probably do not differentiate between the 2 so beware! ## How long does it take for phetermine to leave your urine? ## Phetermine does show up in drug testing as amphtamine...

I'm taking phentermine and took a UA. The results showed a false positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine. The person administering the tests tells me that the phentermine will explain the amphetamine but not for methamphetamine. Will phentermine cause a false positive for both drugs in a UA? ## How did this turn out? I just had a ua a few days ago and take phentermine. ## did you pass the drug test. I just did one and I am worried. I only took one phentermine 15mg tues and did test on Friday. wondering if it will show up ## I've been taking phentermine 37.5mg for a week and now I have a hair follicle drug test and I'm concerned it will show up and I can't explain why it's in my system because I don't have a prescription for it.

I went last week and took a drug test for a job I had been busting my butt for, for the past 4 months. Well I tested positive for amphetamines. The ONLY thing I take is Adipex-p 37.5mg. The doctor that gave the test failed me and said there 2 different things. That is the only thing I had taken beside my pain meds. I got to a pain management doctor once a month and I'm tested EVERY MONTH! They have never said anything to me about it. I'm so heart broken. It would be different if I actually took other stuff but I don't. It would be stupid to blow that opportunity. Well I was refused my job because of this.

I have been suspecting my daughter is taking drugs. I surprised her with a drug test, she told me that she had been taking phentermine and smoking marijuana. Her test came back positive for methamphetamine and marijuana. I decided I would take a weeks worth of phentermine prescribed by my doctor for weight loss to see if I would test positive for methamphetamine; my test came back positive for amphetamines but negative for methamphetamine. The test I took was the 7 panel drug test. The test I had given to my daughter was the 4 panel drug test. Should I repeat the 7 panel drug test on her later? Is it a more detailed test? I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I had a hair follicle test done for CPS. I have been taking diet pills (phentermine), but instead of 3 a day I took 7 the day of the test. Will it show up in the hair follicle that I am taking too many? Also, I had put a little cocaine on my pinky 10 days before and rubbed it on my gums. Will that show up on the hair test too?!

I am currently on probation in Oklahoma and am court ordered to take hair follicle tests every three months. I have about a year left of taking these tests. I've been talking to my doctor about taking phentermine and am just curious as to how this would work as long as I have a prescription for it?

I have a prescription for phentermine 37.5 mg only took for three days and had to take a urine test due to false allegations in a cps case. Even though i have a prescription can i still get in trouble. ## did you get in trouble? I have the same issue right now. I have a prescription for 37.5 mg phentermene. I expect the lab results any time now. Just curious if the labs were able to distinguish between the phentermene and illegal drugs. ## Did you ever find out id showed up or not. An if so how many days it has been since you took it. Same situation cps. Need info please.

I have to take random drug tests as the pilot of a river boat, and I can not take narcotics and I don't no how to find out if this is one I should not take. I am very obese and this product really help. ## Diethylpropion, or Amfepramone is not a narcotic/opiate. It is, however, a member of the Amphetamine class, so if you are tested for this, it will show up on a drug test. ## Ask your doctor for Phentermine. It will come back as a positive on a drug screen but a second confirmation test will be done which will come back negative. FMSCA has put rules in place in 2012 to safe guard against false positives.

I am prescribed lamotrigine, buspirone, lexapro, abilify, diazepam, naproxen, hydrocodone, mehylphenidate, nuvigil and sudogest.

Oval white pill with blue flecks on outside only. MP 273 on it. Is this Phentermine 37.5 mg? ## I can't find anything listed in the US databases under this marking. ## You have what I think is the very best there is.. Mutal Pharm. 273.. They look like the specks are painted on but are real 37.5 mgs phentermine. The very best and strongest I have ever taken. ## bonkersThe real Phentermine 37.5mg mp273 can't be ordered online. They will never send the real pill. Phentermine 37.5mg must be prescribed by a doctor and if the doctor you go to is a good doctor he or she will run tests on you and make sure your heart is strong and at low risk for a heartattack. In most cases after running the tests, Doctors will refuse to prescribe this medication to you. It depends on all the test resu...

I think I bought these pills about 3 years ago.. Are they still good? If I took one of the pills would they show up in a DRUG TEST for work? ## For most tablets, once they are out of the original factor sealed bottle/container, and in a pharmacy bottle/package that exposes them to heat and light, the expiration is usually 1 year from the date of dispensing. There are only a few that get dangerous, when expired, but they do lost potency and, being as these are used for weight loss, their effect after all this time will likely be minimal, especially if you only have a few of the them. Learn the Phentermine Details here. And yes, it has been known to cause false positives on urine screens for both Ecstasy, Amphetamines and Methamphetamines. Is there anything else I can help with?
