Should Prozac Dosage Be Increased To Manage Severe Stress And Insomnia?

I am currently on 10 mg of Prozac per day. This seemed to help at first but now I am wondering if the dose should be increased? I am not feeling as well as I did in week 3 of taking the 10mg of Prozac as now in my 8th week. I am tired but cannot sleep, cannot turn off my brain, feel stressed out all the time - at home and work, obsessing about my Mom & sister's deaths that occurred 6 years ago but feels like yesterday. I cannot concentrate at work and am in jeopardy of losing my job.
