Default What are your side effects from DBS? I've noticed...

I am wondering what sort of side efects others have noticed from their DBS. One that I am becoming more aware of pertains to my driving. Yes, I know, I had DBS 3 weeks ago and I'm DRIVING! Well, I have noticed that my judgement is bad. Twice yesterday I pulled out in front of other vehicles and both my wife and I looked at each other and what the !@#$#@!! was I thinking. I plainly saw both vehicles yet for some reason and I cannot explain it I just went. I am a big believer in planning your route to avoid trafffic problems and using a light to exit parking lots, do not try to get out into traffic at a corner-use the light,etc. For example our favorite drug store is on a very busy corner. I make sure that I travel to the store using the light in front of it to allow me to turn directly into the parking lot. Then I go to the back of the parking lot where a simple right turn puts me onto the road home. However, today I went to the store and when leaving pulled out onto the frontage road, crossed the first two lanes and after braking just a second pulled out and went left almost in front of yet another vehicle- I woulda been creamed! I have NEVER used this route for obvious reasons! This may seem like just not thinking to you all but this is a severe lack of proper judgement for me. This is another one, you all will laugh at this one, I was at a store with my wife and we had some degree of cash on us for the item we were going to puchase. She said to me " Jim watchout for people coming up to you...." My response was "They'll have to be bigger than you are." Both of our jaws dropped as soon as the words left my mouth! You cannot imagine! I have felt somewhat "simple minded" at times. Yes, I am confident that these are all present since my DBS. My wife, yes she is still here agrees. Well, all I can say is stay tuned. Thanks for listening.
