Does an anticholinergic work by reducing acetycholine in the muscles?

Question

In the treatment of schizophrenic patients who suffer extrapyramidal side effects, is this caused by the reduction in dopamine in the eps, which then creates an over abundance of acetycholine in the muscles? Or is it due to an over abundance in the EPS, which in turn effects the muscles?
