Probably, put perhaps with greater selectivity for certain brain regions over other brain regions. There may too be differences in the binding kinetics (i.e. how quickly DAT is inhibited or the maximum inhibition). I have no idea.

I remember reading that analogues of benztropine were being investigated for treatment of cocaine addiction. I.e. for their ability to reduce certain withdrawal symptoms but not producing much euphoria by themselves. Benztropine can be abused, but I don't know if it is more due to it's anticholinergic properties.
