Urologist appointment, reason for concern?

[Akira1983]

SWIM has been taking adderall since Sunday. SWIM took 20mg's a day Sunday-Tuesday then took 30mg on Wednesday. It is now Thursday morning and they have a Urologist appointment Friday at 10:00AM. SWIM is going to the urologist because of a urinary problem that has nothing at all to do with the adderall, but will they some how know if SWIM has Amphetamine in there system? SWIM doesn't have a prescription, but they use the stuff every couple months for a week or so. Marijuana is in the system also, but SWIM isn't at all concerned about some plant that should be legal anyways. Think they will even know?

Well I have good news and bad news for SWIY. I figure he's already had his appointment so I'm just speculating at this point, so please let us know how it turned out. Anyways, the bad news is that amphetamine has a half life of 10-13 hours. Adderall is a combination of amphetamine and d-amphetamine, but their half lives are roughly the same, differing only by a few hours. The reason the half lives are different is the reason they mix the two together in the first place; to ease the peak and keep the effectiveness more consistent. That being said, I wouldn't count on a detectable level of amphetamines being out of SWIY's system in less than 3 days.

But as I said, there is good news. Since the urinary problem is completley unrelated, chances are unless amphetamines are some kind of catalyst to making the condition worse, they have no reason to check for it. Furthermore, from what I understand, is that you have the right to know if you're being drug-tested if you're going to visit a doctor on your own terms (aka not forced by the government). In addition, I believe it is your right to refuse a drug test. Although that might seem shady, its better than being caught if it would cause problems. As I said though chances are what they're testing for is nothing even close to an amphetamine, and they don't just drug test urine because they have it.
