In reply to pro-cholinergic antidepressants or stims?, posted by iforgotmypassword on September 16, 2005, at 20:59:08
Stimulants are all generally all procholinergic (I believe). Which is why they tend to cause depression.
Enhancing serotonergic and/or noradrenergic function confers indirect anticholinergic effects.
So even the new AD's are functionally anticholinergic. Esp the ones that surpress REM sleep.Remeron is supposed to be functional in Nootropic tests.
I think SJW has some acetylcholinsterase inhibiting properites, and is also a functional nootropic in some clinical paradigms.
I don't really know.
For cognition SJW was probably the best. All the SSRI's made my thinking fuzzy.
