Commonly used Meth test involves use of immunochromatographical methods. Overall the tests are sensitive and they usually detect what they are intended to detect. Meth test is used to detect amphetamines abuse.
Some psychotropic medicines like fluoxetine, desipramine, chlorpromazine, bupropion etc may result in falsely positive results. Other than this most of psychotropics will not show positive results in Meth test.
Hope this helps you. If you have more doubts you can ask again.
