G-man, it doesn't sound to me that you're allergic at all. I'd say you're very sensitive to the medication. I am too. What I'd suggest is that you increase the dose very slowly, starting at a very low dose and working up. There is an easy way to do that, too. Prozac (fluoxetine) is one antidepressant that is available in liquid form (and there are probably others, too). Dose is proportional to the volume, and it comes with a little syringe to measure the volume precisely. Instead of the usual starter dose of 20 mg, you could start at 2.5 mg, and increase the dose as you become tolerant to it. It solved the problem for me.
