Zoloft Seems to have stopped working

I started taking Zoloft 4 years ago for anxiety and OCD. Other than some times when I went off it because I felt better I ahve been on it ever since. Over the past few days my anxiety has com back with a vengeance. Do you think that I have any hope taking another medication instead of the Zoloft. I took a Klonopin last night and it didn't seem to work. The expiration was 5/29/2004 however. Being that the Klonopin is 1 1/2 years past the expiration date, do you think it lost effectiveness ??
