In reply to Any research on the cholinergic system?, posted by Dinah on March 3, 2005, at 13:57:41
Thats funny, I was thinking about this today.
Drugs that increase cholinergic transmission, but also tend to increase depression. Anticholinergics have antidepressant effect.
Mania might be due to an underative cholinergic system, and depression due to an overactive cholingic sytstem.
It is called the cholinergic-adrenergic axis.
You can certainly get sole anticholinergics such as cogentin. These have mood brighening effects but can dose dependatly make you dumb.
