Hi, A!
"Studies show that prescription use of bupropion is the most common cause of false-positive urine drug screens for amphetamine."
"Yes, bupropion (Wellbutrin) can cause a false positive for amphetamines on a urine drug screen. This is because bupropion is structurally similar to amphetamine."
