In reply to ANTICHOLINERGICS could enhance mood?, posted by neo on July 21, 2006, at 12:54:03
> Since last week i'm on a low dosage of AKINETON (an anticholinergic) for muscle rigidity derivates by the use of Amisulpride. Back pain, breast pain, neck pain and so on..., they are common EPS given by the neuroleptics.
> After few days the rigidity is reduced a lot, but i noticed also a strange euphoric mood, that in my personal case is VERY strange because i always got my mood under my shoes all day long.
> None knows if anticholinergic drugs could give a better mood?
> Of course i am going to continue in the use of that med, even because it do not give me any side effects, and that is a miracle for my experience.
> Thanks you all for your help and share!

Yes, anticholinergics can have mood-brightening effects. It is a well-known phenomenon. I tried Akineton (biperiden) specifically as an antidepressant. It didn't have that effect on me. If it works for you, then stick with it.As the antithesis, pro-cholinergic drugs can produce depression.
