Gabapentin and Balance Issues with Fibromyalgia

had anyone else had gabapentin given for fibromyalgia and had their balance affected? I recently started and don't know if it's the med or just the cataplexy contributing to the ataxia.

Thanks. I will watch for the crazy. No dizziness or nausea yet. That's what Lyrica did to me.
