Haven't taken it, but my understanding the relationship between Provigil-Nuvigil is like that between Celexa-Lexapro and Effexor-Pristiq. Essentially they are the same drug, but the company was losing the patent, so they came up with a formulation that removed the inactive version of the molecule and marketed it under a new name. I would expect the drugs to be extremely similar other than the price tag.
Best,
EE
