It blocks cholinergic muscarinic receptors. Blocking these receptors can increase dopamine in the neucleus accumbens, and hence the minor/moderat abuse potential of anticholinergics.
Anticholinergics can make you a bit forgetfull. They can also make you feel a bit stoned, detached, sometimes psychotic.
My scopolamine trial was a good one. I would continue with it on a daily basis if it was available and affordable.
Basically, it made me feel very much in the present. It stopped a chattering mind. It made many things seem very interesting. It also created a pleasant sence of otherworldliness. Like I had jumped out of this chaotic callostrophobic world and jumped into a more personal zone where things were more interesting, more plyable and less riged and strict.
I had used a similar drug called cogenitn. Cogentin is offically used for parkinsons or AP induced akathesia, but it is also an anticholinergic with similar effects.
It too, brigtened things up. Made things feel less regimented, and made my problems feel more subjective.
