Do you find that certain meds increase or decrease sense of humor, as far as finding things funnier and thinkin of funnier ideas? For example, Adderall completely killed my sense of humor. I'm especially interested in people's experience with Nardil and Parnate in relation to this. Thanks

I found that SSRI's definately increased my sence of humor. Parnate decreased it.

Yes, meds have affected many of my personality traits including sense of humor. So far Parnate has improved it somewhat.

I found my "old self" which is goofy, silly, and quick witted with often lame one-liners came back once I was on a therapeutic dose of Nardil. Since it had been so long since I'd seen "her", some people wondered what was wrong with me. One girl even thought I was drunk! I'm not sure what the mechanism is for this. Perhaps a combination of relief from depressive symptoms and increased confidence? There's also that euphoria that many get when they first start Nardil...
