Hey i know sometimes it can be long waits between visits i know my pdoc has always said that if i need anything i can call and leave a message and she can call me back between appointments, especially to do with meds.Maybe this could be an option for you? Maybe you could try to call her and leave a message? She may not be able to give you an appointment sooner but maybe she could have you up something over the phone to tide you over till your appointment? In my experience they either up something or switch a med when i start feeling the depression at my heels. If you do up a med, with his/her consent of course then you will be on the upped med for a while till your appointment, and you will be able to tell if it's working or not. If it isn't working you wont have to just up something at your next appointment, you might actually be able to switch medications, and to be honest i think that's what is needed as you had said you don't feel the drugs are working for you. I sure hope you get some relief, no one deserves to feel this way.
best of luck,
