Private ADHD Titration

There is a current national shortage of medications that treat ADHD symptoms. This is due to manufacturing problems and a growing global demand.

Our service offers private ADHD adjustment instead of waiting for NHS funding via Right to Choose. Our assessments are free and include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A thorough evaluation of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted with an experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This includes an examination of your medical history as well as an assessment using the standard ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your assessment, you will be informed if medication would be beneficial for your particular situation. This will happen during your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person, via video link or via phone). Your doctor will go over the various medication options available. If you decide to start taking medication, we will offer you the option of titrating your dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process could take several weeks, and it involves gradually altering your child’s medication until the proper balance is reached. It's not uncommon to have to adjust up to three different medications before you find the one that best suits your child's ADHD. Parents must be involved in this titration process and keep a close eye on their child's behavior to inform the doctor if the medicine is helping or causing side effects.

If you decide to return to NHS treatment, your medication will be issued with a private prescription which you will need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fee). You'll need to keep up with your appointments every six months to monitor your medications. This includes blood pressure and pulse measurements. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the evaluation is completed after the assessment is completed, you can make follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist. The appointment is typically conducted via zoom video call. In some instances, it could be possible for an audio-only consultation to be scheduled (again with an additional cost).

At this point, we will discuss treatment options and come up with a unique ADHD medication titration program. This will include a discussion and review of your medication dose, as well as any side effects you might be experiencing. These titration adhd medication sessions cost PS150 for face-toface sessions and PS60 via telephone or video consultation. The cost of medication is additional and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will also inquire with you about your family history and the impact that your ADHD symptoms impact your life, as well as any relationship issues you might be having or other mental health problems that you might be experiencing. This is because ADHD can be a genetic condition and it is crucial that we assess any family history that could indicate that you're at risk of developing the disorder.

During the assessment, it is crucial that you are honest and honest with the clinician who will be using the information you provide to determine if you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is a crucial step, since the wrong diagnosis can result in an inappropriate prescription of medication.

If you decide to be treated for ADHD, we'll arrange a follow-up appointment with a psychiatrist who specializes in this field. If you'd like to start treatment right away it is possible to start treatment immediately following the diagnosis. Or you can wait two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and what is titration in adhd options you have.

We suggest that if are unsure about your preferences, talk with your GP prior to scheduling your private assessment. Some providers have different policies regarding whether or not they require the submission of a GP letter. We also advise to check if your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement that means that once discharged from the clinic, you will be sent back to them to get the medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is a key element of the process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. The process of getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and time-consuming. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long, and GPs can be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

One method to avoid this is to request your GP to refer you through Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). This means you can select a provider that offers an assessment and titration. This can cut down on wait time significantly and is more convenient if you are working and have a busy schedule.

If you are referred through this route your chosen doctor will assess you and decide whether or not you're required to be titrated on medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that vary by provider but the main ones are self-report forms and medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor identify any factors that might mean you shouldn't take ADHD medications if they are prescribed.

If you are being titrated on medication, this will usually be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. These will be carefully assessed and monitored to determine the most suitable combination for you. The titration procedure can be long and may require a number of additional appointments before you are stable.

Based on the type of medication you're taking, follow up appointments will be either monthly or quarterly. This will include your physician making sure that you are stable on the medication, logging any side effects you have had and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You'll also have to attend a regular health check which can include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements as well as an annual review.

For some people it could be that they are satisfied with their medication and don't need any further discussion on their titration. If you're looking to discuss your titration or treatment plan in more detail it is possible that you'll be sent back to the private doctor who performed your initial assessment. In this case the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will then be administered via a private prescription. This can cost more than a prescription from the NHS since the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
