Brief Answer:
Possibility of false positive

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

Adderall and amphetamone are different substances and in standard drug screening urine test, there should not be false positive result if you didn't take amphetamine. There are very rare reports about such false positive results and there is much higher possibility that you took amphetamine incidentally. The best way would be to repeat the test, but you should highlight before that you tale adderal. If there is still positive result, then you should insist on blood testing which will reveal real results.

Wish you good health.
Regards
