Does Drug Taken To Reduce Weight Show Up In Medical Examination?

hi im an over weight woman and am forever trying faddy diets! a month ago a friend of mine, who had recently lost five stone, suggested i try her diet...the drug speed. im law abiding and in anyother circumstance would never have tried an illegal drug never mind not know where to purchase it! my friend suggested i try a bomb of hers, so i did, i didnt like the effects it had on me and would never do it again, but im now worried because im due to take a medical examination for a university course, i dont know what the examination entails? and im frightened the drug may show im my ulrine or blood sample? can you advice me on this matter? i am 16.5...5ft7..and 32 years of age....

amphetamines, commonly referred to as speed, typically do appear in a routine drug of abuse panel. However, depending on the type of test and specimen they take from you ( urine or saliva ), The test may turn negative between three and 10 days after your last use.
Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you that the best way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight is a sensible diet and regular exercise.
