Couple questions.

Is the prozac brand or generic?

Is the lamictal brand or generic?

Not only can the generic versions of those not work, they can actually make you feel bad.

The Marshall Protocol is fairly new and controversial. But in deep detailed scientific explanations it describes how infections change vitamin D status. The primary diagnostic tool is in fact a vitamin D blood test. Low vitamin D is a yellow flag. It only takes a short time in the sun and a little bit of milk to get all your vitamin D. So if it's low, it's low for a reason.
In the Marshall Protocol, taking vitamin D supplements to get levels up can help you feel better in the short run, but actually fuels the infection to be worse after the short run. Part of the healing protocol is to avoid vitamin D completely. Like I said, it is only a few years old and has its supporters and critics, but sheds light on some very intriguing topics that challenge some of our commonly held, but unproven, beliefs in medicine.

The problem with all your infection testing is that most or all of them are flawed. Someone deathly ill with Lyme can test negative. It is a very long story to explain why that is, but once you know why, it all makes sense. Tests are guidelines only, they should not be used for diagnostic purposes. Diagnosis is based on history and symptoms and is clinical not laboratory.

Many infections don't even have tests. Thus round-about methods are used. Such as vitamin d in the marshall protocol. Or much simpler, challenge tests. Think maybe a bacteria is involved? Lyme? Clamydia? Any number of others? Take a few potent antibacterial herbs and see what happens. Or antibiotics. Herbs are almost as potent but much safer. The "Herxheimer" reaction is a powerful diagnostic tool. Maybe a yeast problem instead? Gosh, the lifestyle of USA provides an absolute palace for yeast to thrive. Same as with antibiotics, tests are not conclusive, but challenge tests are.

I wish you were feeling better. If you want to switch out the prozac for something else, consider Savella. And don't take the generic issue lightly. It can make a huge difference.
