Does Gralise Cause Depression And Dizziness?

I recently ramped up Gralise from 1200 to 1500 and had severe depression all day, dizziness, lethargy. I also have been taking Klonopin .5-1mg at night for insomnia related to peripheral neuropathy, which has been helping me sleep, and causing a little daytime drowsiness but nothing like today after Grails ramp up. Should I keep taking the Grails? My GP is not available until after my next dose is due.
