Well, that's why I tried to frame my words such that they be applied to my experiences only. It is tempting for me to generalize my own experiences to the majority, but the only thing I have to go by is how these drugs affected me personally. Like you, I found perphenazine to be relative inoffensive. However, I definitely felt as if my mind were somehow being filtered so that I could could not concentrate on my thoughts. I know that sounds good at first, but my consciousness felt like it was stuck in mud. It is interesting to see how differently two people can feel on the same drug. However, it confounds the efforts made to understand and treat mental illness.
