Since a lot of antidepressants have anticholinergic properties, I have wondered if they might be contributing to the antidepressant effects. It's conceivable that since they have come "free" and cause side effects, that people haven't noticed that they are beneficial. But, it's a long shot. It seems like every class of drug has been offered as a potential AD, even a beta-blocker like pindolol. Drugs like atropine and its derivatives are so old, that someone almost certainly would have noticed if they worked for depression.
