Hi Ed,

I actually prefer a pure anticholinergic to something like amitriptyline. Amitriptyline is a good medication, but it really whacks you out (antihistamine + anticholinergic + all the rest).

I think its the M1 receptors that exert inhibitory control over the mesolimbic dopaminergic system. Mice lacking the M1 receptors display a depression resistant phenotype. The M1 receptors are important the consolation of emotional memory. For instance, blocking the m1 receptors will prevent the enhanced REM response in mice to predator exposure - as well as subsequent emotional disturbance.

AFAIK, Cogentin (benztropine) is also a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which probably contributes to its abuse liability.
