I do it all the time (rescheduling sooner) because when my symptoms worsen, I want to see my pdoc ASAP (some might say I'm a little high-maintenance, but really I often get very anxious and it becomes more urgent to see him).

Just curious as to what you guys would say about that. Especially when would you see your pdoc sooner about depression? My depression, obsession, and anxiety are bad enough right now for me to feel like I need to be seen sooner.

If I'm feeling like I just cannot wait, I would change my appointment to get in sooner. I do it a lot when I just can't take it and I'm frustrated that nothing is happening. Luckily my current pdoc seems to prefer electronic communication and she approves adjustments that way. Which is perfect because it saves a time and money.
I'm usually patient with giving meds a chance to work, but this last time, I just couldn't. I would bother her every other week like "WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?!"
I think I'm finally good..
