Is Muscular Pain A Side Effect Of Gabapentin?

I have been taking 100 mg Gabapentin 3 x daily since mid march. Have been experiencing extreme muscular aches. Could this be a side affect of this medication? I am a medicare patient living on SS and have 1.65 in my checking account. Didn t realize I had to pay for this. Sorry
