Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?

Does anyone here take gabapentin? My doctor prescribed it for the burning I'm experiencing after taking the first shot of the pfizer vaccine. Are the side effects as bad as they say?

I have taken a low dose of Gabapentin for two years, 200–400 mg, first for liver pain, but now for neuropathy pain (just to note, I only weigh 110 pds. and have a good metabolism). I take it in the evening, as that’s when the pain is worse and it helps me sleep. I’ve not had any side effects from it.

I take Gabapentin,.
300 mg in the morning w/ Cymbalta 60 m
& 300 mg at night.
It really is not helping me but I take it anyways bc if I do forget to take it , I notice I am in more pain.
The only side effect I see that I have is that I short term memory & I never had it before.
Best of luck to you & God bless.
