In reply to acetylcholine and depression, posted by Emme on July 11, 2004, at 7:35:30
I don't think that acetylcholine plays much role in governing the stress responce (I could be wong).
However, increasing cholinergic function can lead to depression, but I think that this is largely dependant on the level of other chemicals in the brain.
I found that when I attempted to increase acetycholine through lecetin, gingo, choline bitrate etc, it would always make me a little bit depressed. It gave me a sence of uselessness, it was almost like it revealed everything that I didn't know.This may not be the case with you.
I know of a few people that have had antidepressant effects from cognative inhancers, especially when the cognition is slightly abnormal to begin with.
Best of Luck
