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.

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

Correct. Much like there is a difference between driving 70 and 85.
Some people, going 70 just doesn’t cut it.

No. They each have different effects on the brain. Stimulants work on several different mechanisms of action, and how much they affect the various mechanisms varies by drug.

And now you’re just wrong.
They work the exact same way, the affect the exact same receptors in the exact same way. One just affects them for longer than the other. This is not like comparing DXM and ketamine.
