Does Taking Mirtazapine Cause False Test Result For Amphetamines?

Hi my son was drug tested ay work.Urine sample was clear. Then they did a saliva test which came back positive for amphetamines. He is currently taking mirtazapine 15mg nightly for mild bipolar disorder for nearly six months now. Could this medication cause a false reading.Many thanks

No MIrtrazapine doesn't give a false positive result for amphetamines.
Amphetamines, opioids, benzodiazepines and Marijuana can also be checked through urine drug analysis.
