I think you are right. Patients should be instructed to wait a month before increasing doses on these meds, because they might miss the window of effectiveness for them. The drug companies know that everyone responds differently.
The current way of dosing seems to be a way for uninformed GPs to prescibe more mood pills that drug companies push on them. Giving them simple one size fits all instructions is easier than going by how the patient feels.
