After 3 months of taking the highly anti-cholinergic med amitriptyline, I have found the largest remission of my psychiatric symptoms, ever!! No other antidepressant has come close, for me. And, this seems to fit with the cholinergic theory of depression, quite well. Whenever I have tried coming off it, just once because of urinary problems, and my day was like a day in Hell..like many of the days I used to have. Yes, I am aware of the risk of dementia with anti-cholinergics,but I do a lot of tests with my pdoc to screen for this. I DON'T feel hyper-aroused, have normal reactions to sh*tty things, and still get pissed off. But there is SO MUCH MORE CONTROL!! Choline just feels like the huge, wet, freezing cold blanket that can get this way in anxiety and depression.
IMHO, etc..
