Gabapentin may be cause these symptoms in some patients.
There is no way to predict which patients will get these side effects. Therefore, you should inform your local doctor about them. You have not mentioned the condition for which you were prescribed Gabapentin. The doctor will be able to evaluate whether there is something else that is causing the symptoms.
Since you have discontinued the medicine you should not worry, but do see your doctor or some other specialist.
I hope this answers your question.
