Zeugma, i'm pretty sure that usually, if not always, whenever a substance is referred to as being anticholinergic, it is actually just a muscarinic antagonist and not a nicotinic antagonist. They should just always use the term "antimuscarinic" instead of "anticholinergic," but i'm pretty sure that's the case. Nicotinic drugs are really interesting though, i agree.
Eddie, good points. And good question about aspirin and what not. But i wanted to point out that aspirin is believed to help heart disease by making it more difficult for blood to clot basically. Also, i think the correlation between stress and depression is cyclical-- stress aggravating and sometimes even causing depression, and depression causing more stress hormones, etc. to be released.
