In a properly administered drug screen, you should not have a problem. With amphetamine testing, the mix between isomers (left-handed and right-handed versions) of the drugs in question is analyzed. Illicit drugs, like crystal meth, will give a different profile of isomers than Adderal or Vyvanse.
"Positive" results in categories where Rx meds can be involved should be reviewed by a medical review officer and it is that person who may require evidence you have been prescribed meds that would explain the results.
Also, when I have sent applicants out for a screen and they do not pass, I do not get any report as to why or if a MRO was involved, although I could guess based on the delay in receiving results.
Hope that reassures you some.
I missed the most recent post, but maybe this will help someone else. Also, it would not have been a false positive, it is called an innocent positive.
