Titration

A highly experienced consultant psychiatrist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your ADHD. This will include an examination of your medical history as well as an assessment using the common ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your examination, you will be advised that medication may be beneficial in your particular situation.

Make sure that your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them when you leave the clinic for medication prescription.

Medication

The medication process is an essential part of the journey for many people who are looking for an official ADHD diagnosis. Finding a prescription from an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and long-winded. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long, and GPs are often reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

Inquiring your GP to refer you to Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry UK and ADHD 360). This means you can select an organization that offers a private assessment and titration. This can cut down on wait time considerably and can be more convenient if you're working and have a full schedule.

After you have been diagnosed, your doctor will examine your condition to determine if you need medication adjustment. You'll have to fill out forms that vary by doctor, but the most common ones are self-reporting forms and medical histories that go to childhood and adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor to determine if there are factors that could mean that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication, in the event that they've been prescribed.

If you are titrated on medication, it will typically consist of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. These will be thoroughly tested and monitored to find the most suitable combination for you. The titration process can be lengthy and may need a few extra appointments before you're stable on your dose.

Depending on the type of medication you are taking, follow up appointments can be scheduled either monthly or quarterly. This will involve your clinician making sure that you are stable on the medication, recording any side effects you've experienced and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you're on 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 treatment and do not have to discuss their titration in more detail. If you're looking to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan in more detail, it is possible that you will be referred back to the private clinic that performed your initial evaluation. In this instance the titration is included in the consultation cost. The medication will be given via a private prescription. This may cost more than prescriptions from the NHS since the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
