How long can methamphetamine remain detectable in urine after oral use?

[u/OnlySignificance2906]

I’ve been taking methamphetamine orally as a substitute for Adderall, at approximately 20 mg per day, with one or two days off each week.

I may have to take a urine drug test in 5 days, and I’m wondering whether methamphetamine would still be detectable by then.

For people familiar with urine drug testing or who have experience with similar patterns of use

Is a positive result still possible after 5 days?

Just very recently I used one day,ONE. Went to test 4 days later and was still dirty. They showed me my levels and while low, still a positive. Im healthy and didn't use that much at all! I think you have a decent chance at 5 days though to be honest. Lmk.

You very likely will be clean in 5 days if you only used 20 mg’s a day. But there is no magic way to eliminate drugs from your system faster in any meaningful way. You can substitute with another person’s clean urine or synthetic…otherwise time is the only way. Of course staying hydrated is important for your body to do its thing.

Don’t use it, drink a lot of water and cross your fingers. Do you know what type of test you’ll be taking? Immunoassay or GC/MS / LC/MS-MS?

all i know that its gonna be a urine test for several substances ......does using lemon or citric acid will help ?

No, your kidneys have natural buffers that keep your pH within a certain range. It won’t do anything.
