Adderall is a drug commonly used in the treatment of ADHD. It is an amphetamine-based drug, and is therefore sometimes used for recreational purposes. That is why a lot of people out there are wondering how to pass a drug test for Adderall.
It is generally a stimulant which can help you focus longer, pay more attention, retain information and minimize tiredness, which is why it is also used to help with narcolepsy problems.
It’s important to say right here at the start that if you are using Adderall under prescription from your doctor then you have nothing to worry about, simply show your employer and the lab your prescription and there will be no problems.
But if you are taking it under other circumstances, then you need to understand that the key ingredient is amphetamine, which is what the drug test looks for and what you can be caught for consuming.
So how does the detection work, and how can you pass a drug test for Adderall if you have recently taken it?
How Long Can Adderall Be Detected In Urine?
Adderall contains amphetamine as its active ingredient. This is looked for in standard urine drug test in exactly the same way as THC, Coke, opiates and other substances are.
Adderall can be detected in urine for around the same amount of time as most of these substances as well. Generally, it will be detectable for around three days, but maybe up to a week depending on how much you have taken, over how long and depending on your metabolism and body size.
It’s important to mention here that if it’s a saliva test then you have nothing to worry about unless it’s going to be a test taken within the next day or so, as Adderall is only detectable in saliva for around two days.
The even better news is if it’s a blood test, two days is about the maximum and is often only in your bloodstream for around 24 hours.
It’s a good idea to purchase an amphetamine home drug test and test yourself before the “big” test.
So to summarise this and reassure you if you are worried, Adderall has the following lifespans (on average) in your body:
- Urine: 3-5 days
- Blood: 24-36 hours
- Saliva: 2-3 days
- Hair: 90 days (this is the same for all drugs)
Do Detox Drinks Work For Adderall?
I would not recommend you use detox pills to get rid of the active ingredients of Adderall from your system because they cost a lot of money and Adderall becomes untraceable in your system after a very short space of time, as we have already said.
But if you don’t have much time, then yes detox drinks will work for Adderall, you just have to make sure you use a good quality one and follow the instructions.
What you mustn’t do is follow the advice of some people and just drink lots of water instead of a proper drug masking drink.
Professional drug testing labs check for dilution in a submitted sample. If it’s below a certain level, you will just be asked to come back to resubmit a fresh sample.
This is the quality of some of the crap you will read in online forums:
“Adderall will not show up on a drug test… and even if it does, it’s not illegal to take Adderall…”
As the idiot above said, no it’s not illegal to take the drug, but as Adderall is a C2 category drug, only to be used by prescription, and contains amphetamines, then to think it’s not relevant to a professional lab drug test is insane.
So following the bullshit advice of people who have probably never even tried Adderall or had a drug test is crazy, only time, high-quality detox products, or a fake sample will get you through.
If you decide to take a detox drink to pass a drug test for Adderall it’s important you understand that you are not doing an Adderall cleanse, you are not physically removing the active ingredients from your system to avoid detection.
What you are doing is temporarily masking those active ingredients by using the detox drink to clean up the sample you will submit the next few hours, basically making sure that your urine is temporarily clean, but realizing it’s backed up in your system still behind that sample.
How To Pass A Drug Test For Adderall:
If you want to be sure of achieving and Adderall cleanse, then time is the way to do it. It has a short lifespan in the body and within a couple of days, you will be fine.
Detox Drinks For Adderall
If you don’t have that time, then you can mask the active ingredients temporarily using a high-quality detox drink such as Herbal Clean Ultra Eliminex, Rescue Cleanse or Mega Clean.
These drinks and more expensive than some of the rubbish out there, around $50 each, but they really do work and you shouldn’t look any further if you are going to go down the detox drink route before you go for a urine drug test.
You can order Rescue Cleanse here and Mega Clean here.
Synthetic Urine
If you don’t fancy that risk, then the surefire way to pass is to submit a high-quality synthetic urine sample instead. For very detailed info and step by step instructions, check out my synthetic urine review post.
This is absolutely the best way to pass a urine drug test, as long as you have the courage to go to the lab and submit a fake sample.
The best fake urine products out there are Monkey Whizz, Quick Fix synthetic urine, and Sub Solution.
What makes these products great is that not only do they have all the ingredients a professional lab drug test will look for seeing if they are fake or not, but they also contain methods to keep the sample heated to body temperature.
If you submit a sample which is at the wrong temperature, is too diluted contain tell-tale ingredients then you will fail.
Both of these methods can work, and I’m not prohibitively expensive to use. I’ve written a detailed guide on how to use a detox drink, or synthetic urine to get through that drug test using them.
