Increased GABA is supposed to relax you more and brighten your mood up. Think about what happens when you have beer.
Everyone who follows Nardil closely agrees that NE goes down because blood pressure decreases when you take Nardil AND it is hypothesized that octopamine replaces norepinephrine and actually drives NE down while all the other monoamines still increase.
If norepinephrine went up dramatically while on Nardil, most people would not be able to combine stimulants and Nardil. But many people have done it successfully without cycling to hypomania or having serious side effects. Doctors just make a big deal out of it because in all current textbooks it says that NE cannot be broken down when added and that NE is actually raised. I agree NE cannot be broken down, but if NE was raised stimulants would kill a lot more people in adjunct with Nardil.
