Private ADHD Titration

There is currently a nationwide shortage of medications to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due to manufacturing issues and a growing global demand.

Our service is private ADHD titration instead of waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessment fees cover the cost of a single prescription.

Titration

A highly skilled consultant psychiatrist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your ADHD. This will include medical history and an assessment using the standard ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

Following your assessment you will be advised that medication may be beneficial in your case. This will take place at your follow up appointment (which can be done in person, via video link or via phone). Your doctor will explain the different options available for you to take medication and, if you choose to begin taking medication, we will recommend titrating the dose to optimise the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process may take several weeks and requires adjusting your child's dosage slowly until the right balance is reached. It's not uncommon to need to adjust three or four medications before finding the best one for your child's adhd titration private symptoms. It is essential for parents to participate in this titration process, and keep an watchful eye on their child's behavior, so that they can inform the doctor whether the medication is helping or causing side effects.

If you decide to return to NHS care, 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 must attend regular appointments every six months to monitor your medication - this includes blood pressure and pulse readings. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is complete and you are satisfied, you can schedule appointment with the psychiatrist. The appointment is typically conducted via zoom video call. In some circumstances, it might be possible to have an audio-only consultation to be scheduled (again with an additional cost).

We will then go over treatment options and choose a bespoke, individualised ADHD medication titration. This will include a review of your medication dose and a discussion around any adverse effects you may be experiencing. These titration adhd medication sessions cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 via video or telephone consultation. The pharmacy will be charged for any charges for medication.

The psychiatrist will ask questions regarding your family history, the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your daily life and any relationship problems or mental health issues that you might be suffering from. This is due to the fact that ADHD can be a genetic disorder and it is crucial to look into any family history that could indicate that you're at risk of developing the disorder.

During this examination, it is crucial to be truthful 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 an important step, as a wrong diagnosis could lead to inappropriate medication prescription.

If you decide to seek treatment for ADHD we'll schedule an appointment to follow-up with a psychiatrist who specializes in this field. This can be scheduled at the time of your diagnosis if want to start treatment right away, or within two weeks if would like more time to consider the implications of your diagnosis and the alternatives that are available to you.

We suggest that if you are unsure about your preferences, you speak with your GP prior to scheduling your private assessment. Certain providers have different guidelines regarding whether or not they require an GP letter. Check if your GP accepts a Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them after you leave the clinic for medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is an integral element of the process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. It can be difficult to get a prescription from a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs can be reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

Asking your GP to refer you to Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry - UK and ADHD 360). You can pick a provider that provides an assessment that is private and titration. This can reduce your wait time considerably and can be more convenient when you are working and have a full schedule.

If you are recommended, your physician will evaluate you to determine if require medication adjustment. You will be asked to fill out forms that vary by provider but the most important ones are self-report questionnaires as well as medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are reasons that suggest you shouldn't take ADHD medications, when they've been prescribed.

If you are titrated, the medication will be a combination stimulants and nonstimulant medicines. These will be thoroughly examined and monitored to determine the best combination for you. The titration process can be long and may require several extra appointments before your dose is stable.

Based on the type of medication you're taking, follow up appointments will be either monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor checking to see if you are stable on the medication, recording any side effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you remain in a safe dosage. You will be required to attend an annual health check-up and regular health check-up that includes pulse, blood pressure, and weight measurements.

Some people might be satisfied with their medication, and don't have to discuss their titration adhd medication in more detail. However, for those who do need further discussions about their titration adhd medications and treatment plans, it is possible that they will be passed back to the private clinic that performed their initial assessment. In this case the titration process adhd will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will be given via the private prescription. This can cost more than prescriptions from the NHS, as the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
