You didn't mention the reason you take Gabapentin. It was originally approved for seizures and later given off label for neuropathy and pain.

I take it for chronic headaches. I’ve taken it for nearly 32 years. But as i got on in my years, I developed spine disease and have undergone 2 lumbar and 1 cervical fusion. I developed neuropathy in the left leg and foot from the 1st lumbar surgery so I know that the Gabapentin is helping with that also. And also the “zingies” down the arms.
