True, Parnate (If you have taken it...I have) can have a stimulating effect, but just because a med is stimulating, doesn't mean it's an amphetamine. It is highly unlikely that there is clevage of that cyclopropyl ring...
Taking high doses of ephedra or the MAO-B inhibitor selegiline will show up as amphetamine
