Have you tried Wellbutrin (bupropion)?

Then after strange developments, paradoxical reactions, poopout, and failed ECT, I am super sensitive as you are. Even a mere 2mg lexapro had me on my knees in uncontrollable tears within 3 days. Anything DA helps a slight bit, but then again, just tiny amounts. Any more and things get worse.
