They basically mean the same thing, but drastic sounds more desperate, urgent, or more than what is needed. For example:
- He walked an extreme distance. = He walked as far as he could walk or a very far distance.
- He walked a drastic distance. = (I would never say a "drastic distance", but just for this example.) He walked as far away as he could - much further than he needed to - just to get far away.
- He took extreme measures to lose weight. = He did everything he could to lose weight. Many people might say he did more than what was reasonable. But he really wanted to lose weight.
- He took drastic measures to lose weight. = He took measures that were definitely beyond reasonable because he was desperate to lose weight.

Extreme is used to describe the highest degree of something and is used as exaggeration. This can mean both for the lowest and highest values. Drastic is similar and usual means something which will effect something for a strong or long period of time

@TheWeeabooPanda I have one more question. I heard 'drastic measure' a lot whilst I haven't heard of 'extreme measure' so far. Is this also natural?

@LeeKevin “Drastic measures” and “Extreme measures” are both natural. Drastic is more negative sounding than extreme so that may be why it’s more common.
