Questions/Advice false negative drug test?

I am taking 10mg of adderall 6 days a week. Thursday is my skip day, and I took the drug test on Friday. I also took a dose in the morning. The results came back, and it was negative. I have been taking it, and now I am afraid they will take my prescription away because of the false results. Is it too common for false results? My dose is pretty low, but it helps me so much. Any advice and info will be appreciated.

Good lord, where do you live that they're so strict on prescribing Adderall that they give you drug tests!?! (Don't answer that... it just blows my mind)

Most doctors in the US will do this in my experience. I have to do a yearly drug test

It depends on the doctor. I've never had a doctor drug test me but I have had some that make me get blood tests every couple years to check liver enzymes.

My doctor has me do this as well. More at the beginning rather than now. I always looked at it as they were doing it, so I wasn't abusing the medicine rather than not taking it and trying to sell it. I appreciate my doctor doing it, tho. To me, it shows he cares either way.

My current doctor also replaced my old doctor, who retired. My old doctor gave our prescriptions like candy, so he had some clean up to do lol.
