Why not try something away from anti depressants like dopamine angonists or modafinil.
I too am very sensitive to some meds, SSRI's, SNRI's anti psychotics and some TCA's, but I must admit that the only class of AD's that elevated my mood were TCA's but the side effects were still too much, Tofranil and Prothiadine were the best for me.
I also had amazing results from ropinirole, in regards to major mood elevation, (Dopamine agonist) but it made me really sick which I put up with for a while because I felt so good. It became too much in the end (vomitorium central). Tirate up very slowly, I did, but I still got quite ill.
The best mood brightner with literally no side effects for me has been modafinil, Which I'm currently taking now.
Good luck
