Hello victoriamae. The best guess is no. They will both show up as amphetamine. I hope one of the other members can confirm my answer or possibly correct it. Regards, pledge

Hello, I have been on the drug Ritalin for a few years now, and contrary to popular belief-not all ADD medications contain the same "type" of stimulates. While Ritalin's main ingredient is "methylphenidate"-which makes it show up differently;as the molecular structure is different than that of adderall which contains the stimulant (along with vyvanse's-I believe) called "amphetamine". Although, they can show up as a false positive-thus, they can send it to a lab for more advanced testing-or may accept that there is a :"form" of schedule ll "upper"-but if they are specifically sincere and determined-yes, they can tell the difference. (I lost two Dr.'s thinking I would be OK). DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!

They are structurally different METHYLPHENIDATE Is not an amphetamine the active ingredients are different. I am not a doctor however I am having trouble with my own doctor not knowing that it is a matter of fact.
