    i take this medication as well its generic for wellbutrin. what dose are you on?

    Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is used to treat depression, help with weight loss, and support smoking cessation. But it may lead to a false positive when screening for amphetamine or methamphetamine, or LSD

    i would have your doctor contact your PO. this is a known issue with the drug. a blood test can be done instead of urine.

    is the medication helping? there are other antidepressants that are less likely to cause this.
