There's cholinergic: its root word is 'choline' which is a type of B vitamin, a fatty acid actually. Choline is needed to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Then there's anticholinergic. It's an adjective that describes effects and/or drugs that cause rapid heart rate, constipation, urinary retention, & dry mouth. TCAs cause a lot of anticholinergic effects.
