Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Normally it doesn't happen like that.
You can't have side effects of the drug even after 3 months of quitting it and moreover you must have taken gabapentin for few weeks only.
It is highly unlikely.
Your symptoms must be because of some other problem.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
