“The inhibitory effect of GABA was facilitated by concurrent application of desipramine , carbamazepine or diazepam at a concentration of 5 x 10(-5)-2 x 10(-4) M. The rank of order of facilitation is: desipramine > carbamazepine > diazepam.”

“Both compounds substantially attenuated the enhancement of the inhibitory responses to GABA produced by NE, with MDL 26,479 having a more marked effect than DMI.”
“A decreased efficacy of NE action after DMI pretreatment was manifested in both a higher mean iontophoretic current dose of the catecholamine required to induce threshold depressions of Purkinje cell spontaneous activity and a markedly diminished ability of NE to enhance inhibitory responses to gamma-aminobutyric acid.”
“Abstract In mice, intraperitoneal administration of desipramine (12·5–100 mg/kg) or pargyline (25–200 mg/kg) reliably elevated the brain concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid in a dose-dependent manner.”
