Iv been taking 24 milligrams of Ephedrine along with 200 milligrams of caffeine every morning for the past week and a half. Today I was drug tested and after doing some research I have found that ephedrine can cause a positive test for amphetamines. At the rate at which I took it do you think I could test positive? Live in the usa btw.

Just fucking tell them you have been taking ephedrine, its not illegal.

Yeah, why wouldn't you just tell them? Say it's part of a legal energy supplement or weight loss supplement...

I will if its positive.

I will if its positive.

It is called a false positive. If this occurs, you simple challange it and let them know you are taking a supplement known to cause false positives for amphetamines containing ephedrine or psuedo-ephedrine and you would like a re test to clear up any problems. The reason ephedrine can cause a false positive for amphetamines is because ephedrine and psuedo ephedrine are commonly known precursors to amphetamine and methamphetamine. meaning they are basically the starting chemicals needed to produce an amphetamine or methamp.
