Some people do find TCAs more tolerable than SSRIs. But not usually.

Chemical sensitivity has mysterious causes, such as a sluggish liver or a hyper immune system.

You might consider taking the tiniest dose of the best overall ssri you've had (6-12.5mg zoloft as an example of tiny dose), but then explore other things that are used off label for depression that are not antidepressants. Things such as ritalin, abilify, lithium, lamictal, memantine, pramipexole, trivastal, and such. After 15 years it might be that you and me both are at a point where an ssri might always have to be in the mix, though we can probably do with the tiniest amount. I too am wicked sensitive.

Don't rule out Kira St Johns Wort.
