A January 2008 Mayo Clinic Proc. article on urine drug testing has a table and text citing case reports from 1995 and 2000 of bupropion and/or metabolites cross-reacting w/amphetamine immunoassay screens.  In your opinion, is it still (as of 2008) possible that bupropion would cause a positive immunoassay screen in a non-DOT test?

Thanks
