There is real simple logic here.
Start with brand prozac. That's because you already know it and trust it. If something doesn't go right with it, then you know things have changed, the game is different now. The prozac didn't change, you did. But if it works like it used to, then at least you have a solid dependable base to work from.
Now assuming it works, then switch to a generic and see what happens. If it does not go well, get back on brand and stabilize. Once stabilized, choose a different generic. See what happens. Repeat this cycle until you find a good generic that agrees with you. Somewhere along the line I think you will find a particular generic that works well. But you have to start with the brand first.
The generics have enough differences among them that it would be a total blind crapshoot trying one after another. Makes no sense. You gotta start with the brand so you have a reference point of comparison.
