What Are The Side Effects Of Gabapentin?

My doctor just prescribed gabapentin for fibromyalgia. He said that my recent bloodwork did not show RA factor. I have been diagnosed with RA and osteo arthritis in 1979. I am concerned about the side affects. I am not anxious or depressed. I work part time. I need to drive to work, and I live alone. I am concerned about starting this medication.
