Just about everything is, other than the first four letters. They are completely different drugs and have completely different affects.
Methadone is a synthetic opiod analgesic (pain killer/ reliever) prescribed to patients to treat severe chronic pain. Methadone is long-acting and usually does not cause "euphoria" as other opiods do, such as morphine and oxycodone. It's also, and mostly used, to treat opiate addiction of those "hooked" on heroin, morphine, etc., and it's mainly used as a managed treatment for drug addiction to prevent withdrawals, etc.
Methamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant, rarely used in the medical field, but illegally made in "meth labs" to sell on the street to those wanting a cheap 'speed-like' high. It is very addictive and can cause negative personality changes, brain damage, and deterioration of physical appearance, such as rotting and/or missing teeth, acne, paranoia, weight loss.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid primarily used for treating opioid addiction and chronic pain, while methamphetamine is a stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system, often used illicitly for its euphoric effects. Methadone helps manage opioid withdrawal symptoms, while methamphetamine increases alertness and energy but can also lead to addiction and other health issues.

I'm not really sure what you mean here, but if you are asking if methadone will show up as methamphetamine then the answer is NO. Why would an opiate show up as amphetamine(speed)?

Can you tell the difference between Oxycontin and methadone in a drug test?
Yes they can tell the difference in Methadone and hydrocodone Methadone has to be tested separately in a test it is not on the 5 panel test. Hydrocodone however is an opiate and will show up as an opiate. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and is in a class all of its own. Methadone tricks the brain into thinking that its still has heroin/opiates in the body it works the same in the brain. So to answer your question they would have to test separate for methadone. It is two totally different drug classes. I personally don't think on a dipstick they can. Methadone is still an opiate. I took it for years with loracet and never saw the dr tell a difference. Sorry to tell ya.
