Are Nausea, Headache And Loss Of Appetite Side Effects Of Gabapentin?

I am taking gabapentin 100mg twice a day as my doc said I could for my pain. I did use it before but only for anxiety maybe twice a month. Now I have symptoms like I have the flu. Muscle aches along with my other pains and nausea, headache, loss of appetite, but no fever. I see that these can be side effects but how can I tell the difference for sure?
