It is hard to say without looking at the specific expression that you
wanted to simplify. Simplify and FullSimplify both seem to get bogged
down in too many alternatives if you give them very large expressions.
One general strategy might be to break up the expression if it is very
large and simplify it in bits.

Can you post the whole expression?
