Have any of you taken Phentermine? Does it show up on a urine drug screen?

Isn't that in the amphetamine category? If so, it probably will show up in a UDS and I wouldn't take it if I were you. Nothing but trouble.

It's an amphetamine and will pop on the most basic of panels. A nurse in my state lost her license after starting it while in monitoring, not getting approval, and popping positive. Not a bright move. She was straight up kicked out, license revoked. No second chances. I doubt it would have been approved, regardless. It's pretty much straight speed. I took it years ago, before addiction. Felt like straight speed. Lost and regained a measly five pounds. It's pretty ineffective for weight loss regardless. Steer clear.

It is banned in TPAP is directly tested for in option 4. Will show generally as amphetamine in other options.

I've never taken it. Heck I'm afraid of the damn hand sanitizer at work but I'll admit to sometimes forgetting and using it from years of habit and simply being busy
