I'm on Provigil -- Is Adderall Better?

I have been on both at different times and Adderall gives me better results. Provigil made me alert and was mildly euphoric (which I admit to enjoying) but did not help much with focus. Things may have changed, but when I tried Provigil it was off label for ADHD and it was only covered because I have sleep apnea (it was covered if the lack of alertness was due to a diagnosed sleep disorder).

Just a little update, that resource address has since changed to: https://modapharma.org/histamine.html
