You should not: The generally acceptable maximum dose is 3 mg. If this does not work for you, see your doc. You should never increase medication doses on your own without first consulting with an expert.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): 3mg. is maximum dose, and with Luvox (fluvoxamine) it can cause added sedation. Try low dose Melatonin up to 3mg.
