Does Adderall Cause A False Positive For Meth Test?

My boyfriend just found out he tested positive for meth and amobetamines on a hair folicle. He started taking adderal a little over a montb ago. He didnt tell them at the testing center because he did not want people at work to know he was taking adderal and neither of us had any idea it would show up like this. My question is will adderal cause him to have a false positive? He does not do drugs and is devastated over this. He will possibly lose his job. Thank you
