Fact of the matter is that SSRI's CAUSE emotional numbing, and TCA's don't. TCA's somehow keep emotions alive, and it may well be that they could stir them up in you somehow, who knows? It's only a thought.
Some people have theorized and/or experienced that tianeptine, the French antidepressant ('Stablon' is its brand name) makes them MORE instead of less emotional, sometimes even to the point of having crying fits.
GHB can also enhance emotional life, if taken in the right doses, but it's an illegal substance, so that seems to be a dead end.
I have sometimes become very emotional while attending an evangelical church service - you could try that if you're desperate. ;)
