Eh, you were probably experiencing the effects of improper dosing (as well as - I'm assuming - different means of ingestion).
Methamphetamine is just amphetamine with an additional methyl group, which makes it cross the blood-brain barrier more easily, and means that a lower dosage by weight is necessary for the same outcome.
Methamphetamine is metabolized almost identically to amphetamine, which means that the pharmacokinetic impact is the same.
The main difference is that methamphetamine is generally smoked (or occasionally snorted and injected), whereas amphetamine is prescribed orally. Also, unless you were prescribed Desoxyn, there's the other question of how pure and reliable the methamphetamine is, and what other compounds were present.

For the dosing, you're probably right, since I didn't have a milligram scale at the time, but I tried to eyeball a portion similar to half of an adderall tablet, since the entire reason I tried it in the first place was to make that comparison.
As for the ingestion method, I tried to keep it the same as I would take any other medication and quickly washed it down with water, however it being a powder makes it harder to guarantee none of it was absorbed sublingually, though I've also tried adderall that way, and the effects were still not that intense.
Anyways, I am aware how similar the two compounds, I just tried to highlight the effect differences, since that's usually what gets people up in arms about drugs.
