Will adipex affect a urine drug screening test for preemployment?

Though it is classified under the amphetamine and phenethylamine family, it is not actually an amphetamine, but rather an appetite suppressant used to treat obesity called an anorectic. It can however, pop positive for amphetamine on a drug test, but then they can test further to show it was adipex. (If you have an rx you are good) Personally I have taken adipex a day and a half before a test and passed, but I have read all over the internet people saying it can cause a false positive. One way you could get the answer for yourself would be to buy an OTC drug test and take the test after using adipex for two days and see what happens!

What is better adipex or meridia?


I was just recently put on the Lamictal and clonazepam for bipolar disorder and anxiety and I was wondering if I can take my Adipex a diet aid with those medications?

If you discussed your use of Adipex® with your doctor before he or she prescribed Lamictal and clonazepam, you should be okay. If not, talk to a pharmacist (they are usually more aware of problematic combinations) about drug interactions before starting back on the Adipex®. Complex questions about multiple medications and drug-drug interactions are better directed to a doctor or pharmacist than an internet community. Some combinations can cause permanent organ damage or death.


Can you take adipex being bipolar?

Yes, depending on bipolar treatments. Adipex-P is the brand name for the appetite reducing drug phentermine.

However, there can be complications between Adipex and certain medications taken to treat bipolar disorder. There can be bad interactions between Adipex and MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) and SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like Carbex, Marplan, Nardil, Parnate, Elderpryl, paroxetine, citalopram, and escitalopram.


Should you disclose prescription drug adipex for employment test and how long in system?

Adipex is a brand name of phentermine. Adipex is made by Gate Pharmaceuticals and comes in 37.5mg white with blue specs oblong tablets. Phentermine may cause a positive result in urine screening tests for Amphetamines because it is chemically similar to Amphetamines. Adipex stays in your system for 1-7 days. Depending on your metabolism and how much water you drink;)Since it will show up on a drug test, you should disclose it - along with a statement that it has been prescribed for you. They may ask for a doctor's confirmation of the prescription if they think the test came out positive, but it should not be reported to the prospective employer as a "positive" on a drug test since it is something a doctor prescribed.
