Hello and welcome,you have to remember that all drugs have a side  effect some people have a worst effect than others. While most tolerate the effects for the good they can or do do. I would read the leaflet that comes with the drug and understand what the possible side effects may or could be and if you start to have any of the side effects phone your pharmacy for advice and consult with your GP who may be able to prescribe a lower dose or different prescription. Myself having tried four different statins right down to a very low dose my body can’t torolate themso my GP infomercial that’s my lot so takeing nut in my diet to help hopefully to keep my heart heathy.

I've been on gabapentin 900mg per day plus morphine based drugs. Like any drug you  will only start to find out what symptoms you will or might get by taking them. 

Ive been on them for about five years now. From memory it made me feel a little bit drosey nothing more.
