I've found that provigil helps me best when I'm active. So if drowsiness occurs while I'm up on my feet or moving around, the medication keeps me awake. When I'm seated (even driving), however, it doesn't seem to be of much benefit.
Ritalin seems to work better for me when I am sitting or driving. It can also help me when I'm active and on my feet--but not nearly as well as provigil does.
So right now, I take both. I think they complement each other pretty well. If I were ever forced to choose between the two medications, I would choose to keep taking Ritalin.
