ABSTRACT
There has been only a few reports regarding aripiprazole causing false positive urine amphetamine drug screens, exclusively on children accidently ingesting aripiprazole. Herein, we present the first reported case of a 40â¯year old woman affected by Bipolar I Disorder, treated with aripirazole at therapeutic oral dose ranging from 15â¯mg/day to 30â¯mg/day, in the context of a depressive episode with mixed and psychotic features, showing a false positive urine amphetamine drug screen. We document the relationship between aripiprazole-dose, plasma concentration and amphetamines values in toxicologic urine examinations over time. Awareness of potential false positive urine amphetamine drug screens during aripiprazole treatment can condition therapeutic choices and prevent legal implications.
