SSRI's can cause sleep problems as mentioned above. Prozac can oftentimes be the worst on sleep.
The insomnia that SSRI's can cause can sometimes get worse over time instead of better.My depression got worse and worse on SSRI's as my sleep got worse and worse.
I would think about reducing the prozac, and perhaps adding a more sleep promoting AD such as trazedone, remeron, doxapine, amitryptaline etc.Don't let insomnia persist. Attack it as strongly as you would attack the depression. Poor sleep will affect every aspect of your life.
Good luck
