Ritalin vs Modafinal for fatigue

I've been unable to feel rested for quite some time and am always tired, went to a neuro the other day and mentioned I occasionally take modafinal to work. He gave me a list of tests I need to have done but in the meantime prescribed me Ritalin (well.. mexican generic version) which surprised me since everything I've read, Modafinal which I already have seems to be the better choice.
Has anyone had experience with both Ritalin and Modafinal for 'fatigue' (always tired/sleepy)? I can concentrate fine when I'm not too sleepy so I don't really care about the ADHD uses for Ritalin. I'm starting on the Ritalin tomorrow so I can post my own results as well if anyone is interested.
update: I tried Ritalin for one day and it was total crap. My head felt kinda like buzzing and my stomache felt upset. I got much less done than when I'm just tired. Modafinal so far is the only thing that actually helps.

Might have been the dose? This stuff from solaray isn't standardized for anything, so kind of hard to quantify exactly how much I'm taking, but it seems fairly consistent between days. Trialled 4 days on, 1 off and I'm back on again today. I haven't combined it with intensive exercise yet, just some relaxing leg lifts and squats.

Could be. I never really gave it too much of a shot, since the first few doses did not do it for me. Perhaps I just did not get the ratios correct.
