Brief Answer:
depends on several features.

Detailed Answer:
First, it depends upon if you are actually doing cocaine.
Adderall is only very weakly related to cocaine; false readings due to it are not likely. Plain messed up tests with the cheap test strips can occur due to plain sticky urine (those tests are not very good). Immunoassay, and mass spec and hair follicle tests are very accurate for cocaine. But on the immunoassay AMOXICILLiN they say can cause a false positive.
