Gabapentin making my cat to mindlessly pace around the house

She is getting gaba 50mg for a broken / dislodged tooth and she is turning her head as if she is finding something, looking for something if she sits in a spot, like a tiny fly I cannot see. It is post 17h since last dosage. Eating, playful, peed. But she hasn’t rested since coming back from vet. Is she having something called a paradoxical reaction to gabapentin?

I called her usual vet they said it should flush out. But emergency vet says its not normal since she could be in pain.

I feel like she is high and cannot relax, she is atleast sitting in a spot for more than 10 minutes today! I really want to avoid a vet visit because yesterday was really traumatic! What is happening?
