I have found amitriptyline, at very high doses, to seem to be similar to scopolamine. Both are strong anti-cholinergic's. I found 200mg's of amitriptyline to be a)powerful sleep inducer b)powerful anti-anxiety. Amitriptyline doesn't seem to have the overpowering, akathisia-inducing effects of SSRI's.
