Shel,
What was the dosage prescribed by your doctor? It’s very likely you were started on too high a dose.
I used to take gabapentin but I was only taking 100 mg at night. I had a neighbor who was taking 900 mg three times a day.
The dosing is so variable, and it might be helpful for you to ask these questions prior to ruling it out.

Trying to rule it out myself. Gabapentin is somewhat helpful.
