My experience wasn't a good one but everyone is different so it may be great for you. What I experienced was a total screwup of my perceptions. I would put some rice in a pan to cook and I wouldn't be able to tell if it was a lot of rice or a little. I would run bathwater and put my hand in to test the temperature and not be able to tell if it was too hot or too cold. I could follow sentences people on television said, but I couldn't make sense of them. If someone left a room and shut the door behind them, I couldn't tell if they shut the door because they were mad (did they slam it or just shut it?) I would be sitting, thinking I was supposed to be doing something, I'd look around to try and get a clue what it was I was supposed to be doing, and realize I was sitting in my car at a red light and it had turned green and people were honking. It was weird.
I took it about three weeks before deciding this couldn't be right. So if you start noticing this kind of thing, call your doc right away! I don't think this is a typical reaction, just want you to be on guard.
