Private ADHD Titration

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

Our service provides private ADHD treatment instead of waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessments are free and include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

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

Following your assessment you will be informed that medication may be beneficial in your case. This will be discussed during your follow-up appointment (which may be scheduled in person, via video link or by phone). Your clinician will explain the different options available for you to take medication and, if you choose to begin taking medication, we will offer to titrate the dose to maximize the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This is a process which can take several weeks. It involves adjusting your child's medication slowly until the right balance is reached. It's not uncommon to have to adjust up to three different medications until you discover the one that best fits your child's ADHD. Parents must be involved in this titration process and keep an eye on their child's behaviour to inform the doctor if the medicine is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to go back to NHS treatment you will be issued a private prescription for your medication. You will be required to pay for your prescription at the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation fee. You must attend regular appointments every six months to monitor your medication. This includes pulse and blood pressure readings. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Once the assessment is completed after the assessment is completed, you can make appointment with the psychiatrist. Usually the appointment will take place through a video call using zoom but in certain circumstances it is possible to schedule an audio-only consultation (again at an extra cost).

We will then discuss the options for treatment and then decide on an individualised, bespoke ADHD medication titration. This will include an assessment of your medication dose and a discussion around any side effects you might be experiencing. These titrations cost PS150 for face-toface sessions and PS60 by video or phone consultation. The pharmacy will charge you for any medication costs.

The psychiatrist will ask you questions regarding your family history, the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your life, and any relationship problems or mental health issues you may be experiencing. ADHD is a genetic condition, and it's vital to examine your family history to determine if you are at chance of developing this disorder.

During this assessment it is vital that you are honest and honest with the clinician who will use the information you provide to determine if you have the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is a crucial step in the process as failing to do so could lead to an inaccurate diagnosis, and thus an incorrect prescribing of medication.

If you decide to seek treatment for ADHD We'll set up a follow-up appointment with a psychiatrist that is skilled in this area. If you'd like to start treatment right away you can start treatment immediately following the diagnosis. You can also wait for two weeks before considering the implications of the diagnosis and what options you have.

We recommend that if you are unsure about your preferences, talk to your GP prior to booking your private assessment. Some providers have different policies on whether they require the submission of a GP letter. Find out 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

For many people who seek an individual diagnosis of ADHD medication is an important part of their journey. It isn't easy to obtain an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long, and GPs might be reluctant to refer their patients to specialist services.

One method to circumvent this is to request your GP to refer you through Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can select a provider who offers a private assessment service and the titration adhd adults. This can help you reduce time and be more convenient, particularly when you are on a tight work schedule.

After you have been diagnosed, your doctor will evaluate you to determine if require medication adjustment. You will be asked to fill in forms that vary by provider but the most important ones are self-report questionnaires and medical histories from childhood and adulthood. They will help your physician identify any factors that might indicate that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication if prescribed.

If you are being titrated the medication will be a combination stimulants and nonstimulant medicines. These will be carefully tested and monitored to find the right combination for you. The titration process can be lengthy and may require several additional appointments before you're stable on your dosage.

Based on the type of medication you are taking, follow up appointments could be scheduled monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor making sure that you are taking the correct medication, logging any side effects you have had and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you remain on a safe dosage. You will be required to attend an annual review as well as a routine health examination which includes pulse, blood pressure, and weight measurements.

For some people, it may be that they are happy with their medication and don't need any further discussion on their titration. If, however, they do need further discussions about the titration process and treatment plan, it's possible that they will be referred back to the same private clinic that conducted their initial assessment. In this scenario the titration will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will be provided through the private prescription. This could cost more than prescriptions from the NHS, as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
