Just like the desired effects of a medicine can happen immediately, or over the long term - so can the side effects develop immediately, over the long term - (or after a dosage change, etc.)
I will warn you that if you decide to go off the Gabapentin, do so very slowly. Again, everyone reacts differently - but I have some experience with coming off Gabapentin, and it was not fun for me. (Even tapering off slowly - that final step down to zero was a bear.)
