Meth is actually a prescribable drug in the US under the name Desoxyn. Dosage and usage habits matter a lot in how damaging something is.

To answer your question, meth and Ritalin are not super chemically similar. Adderall and especially Sudafed are common drugs that are very similar to meth chemically.
