I want to talk to my pdoc about having the freedom to increase or decrease my antidepressant a predetermined amount upon noticing symptoms rather than waiting until I see him next, or talk to him on the phone. He only works 2 days a week, so it would take a long time to get ahold of him.
Has any had/does anyone have an arrangement to make small medication adjustments themselves when symptoms change?

Yes I have fiddled with med doses with my Pdocs blessing .. he would rather me catch things quickly. If the changes we agreed on didn’t help then I would go in for an appt.
But some Doctors just freak out about it and want an office visit to make even small changes.
