Dxm and ketamine have similar effects on similar neurotransmitters, but not identical. Amphetamine and methamphetamine have identical effects on the same receptors, one just stick around longer.
Analogy: dxm is taking a bus down the street, ketamine is taking truck down the street. Amphetamine is driving your car going 70, meth is driving your car going 85.

Adderall is literally just four different types of amphetamines.
There is an uncommonly-prescribed ADHD drug called Desoxyn that is literally just meth.

Being an amphetamine doesn’t mean a drug is “basically meth”.
Would you say DXM is basically Ketamine because both are dissociative drugs?

They don’t have identical effects, otherwise one wouldn’t work better for an individual than others.

Amphetamines and methamphetamine are not the same. Different chemicals have different effects.

In this case they have the same effects, one is just stronger.
