Can Adderall Be Found In The System After One Week Of Stopping In The SAP Test?

I was taking Adderall 30xr for about a month. I stopped taking my prescription 7 days ago. I had a drug test today for potential employment. The type of test was SAP 10-50, which to my understanding means that they will be testing for amphetamines (an ingredient in Adderall). The cut off level will be 50ng/ml. So, I figured that after a week my previous prescription wouldn t show up. Consequently I didn t feel the need to bring in my script. Should I be worried?

Hello dear,
It takes about 4-5 half lives for a drug to be eliminated from our body.
Adderall contains amphetamine(half life 10-30hr) and dextroamphetamine(half life 10-12hr).So amphetamine will take up to 150 hours,and dextro amphetamine up to 60 hours for clearance.Both are likely to cleared from your body,as you stopped them one week back.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
