Oddly enough, this has happened with me... with Paxil. Twice Paxil has "pooped out" on me, seem to stop working after about 2 years, they took me off the first time and had me off all ADs for about 6 months, then they put me back on Paxil, and it worked.... and then, about 2 years later, if stopped working again... and that time they tried some other ADs, none of them worked (I'm Bipolar, and the other ADs sent me into a mania) and after about 6 months, they put me back on Paxil and it started working again... It was very odd, both time, for me, and I almost didn't want to bother going back on... but it worked.
