What Causes Vibrating Sensation In Body After Taking Gabapentin?

Hi, I am a 51 yr old woman who has type 2 diabetes. My primary care physician diagnosed I have neuropathy and I currently take 300 mg of gabapentin 3 x s per day. About 3 months ago I started having the following symptoms: dizziness, nausia, felling like a breeze is on my legs and feet even though they are under the blankets, and sometimes while lying down on my left side it feels like my body is vibrating. It usually starts in my left leg and foot.
