The problem with neuroleptics is that you often block one or two receptors which leaves more dopamine for remaining receptors, which can alter the way the brain processes things.
I remember that antipsychotics made me feel really *weird*. Not psychotic necessarily, but definately weird. My thought processes changed slightly because it is shunting your dopamine around.
I remember when I was taking thiorodiazine it definately made things feel otherworldly. I kindof felt like I had jumped into an alternate dimention. I remember staring at a stop sign for a few hours thinking that I had seen it before but that I had never seen it before.
I don't know if I would call it psychotic, but it definately messed with my mind.
