I hear you. Here's my theory :>) no matter what drug it is, if I don't take any, I don't have a reaction to it-so, if I take a tiny, tiny amount, probably I'll be O.K. As a med-sensitive person, too, what I had to learn was [1] not to listen to the doc that tells me to start at 50-100% therapeutic dose and [2] stop calling myself a weenie and just take a very small amount...with SSRI's, I've started as low as 1 mg. This also gives me time to assure myself that the stuff isn't going to have an unwanted side effect, like killing me. :>} Then I really slowly creep up with the med (it took me a YEAR to get to a therapeutic dose of Paxil, but I then was rewarded with the three best years of my life).

Start off low, go slow. I like that. :>}
