So, some researcher or other seems to claim that blocking muscarinic receptors (specifically m4) is possibly helpful for OCD (could this explain why paxil was used preferentially for OCD for a while?). And I know one patient (me), whose OC symptoms partly remit during a dose of benadryl, which is quite an anticholinergic.
Are there other anticholinergic (antimuscarinic, really) drugs out there, that one such as I might use to combat OCD? Preferably something relatively 'clean' in terms of its other effects (i.e. less sedating and antihistaminic than benadryl)? I would be a willing guinea pig to see if any such thing works.
Anticholinergic drugs--which are your favorites?
Thanks for any input,
