You may want to try a stiffer reed. I recommend Vandoren, but keep in mind they tend to be a bit stiffer than the same number of reeds such as rico, so stay at 2.5 if you switch brands.
If you've been playing on the same reed for four months, you may be having problems with the reed being blown out. Eventually, even if it isn't chipped or warped, a reed will begin to lose it's good sound, soften, and in general get bad. Try a new reed and see what happens.
When trying to play high notes with a softer reed, scoot the reed up on the mouthpiece a tiny bit. I'm not sure why, but this helps. This was what my band teacher told us in 5th grade as we were extending our ranges.
SUPPORT is vitally important with high notes. use LOTS of air, and keep the corners of your mouth firm.
Above all- Practice Practice Practice! Good Luck!
