Private ADHD Titration

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

Our service can offer private ADHD titration as an alternative to waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our fees for assessments include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A highly experienced consultant psychiatrist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your ADHD. This includes an examination of your medical history as well as an assessment using the standard adhd titration private rating scales and questionnaires.

Following your assessment you will be advised if medication is considered to be beneficial in your particular situation. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which may be scheduled in person, by video link or by phone). Your physician will go over the different options for medication available. If you decide to begin medication, we will help you to titrate your dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This is a process which can take several weeks, and involves adjusting your child's medication gradually until the proper balance is achieved. It is not uncommon to have to titrate up to three different medicines until you discover the one that best fits your child's ADHD. It is important that parents participate in the titration and be on the lookout for their child's behavior so that they can inform the doctor whether the medication is working or causing adverse effects.

If you do not decide to return to NHS care and have decided to return to NHS care, your medication will be given as a prescription from a private pharmacy that you'll have to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees). You'll need to keep up with your appointments every six months to monitor your medications. This includes pulse and blood pressure measurements. Annual checks are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is completed you will be able to make follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist, as necessary. The appointment is typically conducted through a zoom video call. In some instances, it could be possible to have an audio-only appointment to be scheduled (again at an additional cost).

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

The psychiatrist will ask questions regarding your family history, the impact of your ADHD symptoms on your life, and any mental health issues you might be experiencing. ADHD is a genetic condition, which is why it's crucial to look into your family's background to determine if you're at chance of developing this condition.

During this assessment it is crucial that you are honest and honest with your doctor in the sense that they will be using the information you provide to determine if you have the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is a crucial step because an incorrect diagnosis could result in a prescription for medication that is not appropriate.

If you decide to receive treatment for ADHD, we'll arrange a follow-up appointment with a psychiatrist who specializes in this area. If you'd like to start treatment right away you can start treatment at the time of diagnosis. You can also wait two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and what options you have.

If you're not sure what is adhd titration your preference is it is recommended that you speak to your GP before booking your private examination as some providers have different policies regarding whether they require an GP referral letter or not. Check if your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them when you leave the clinic to get a prescriptions for medication.

Medication

For many people who seek an individual diagnosis of ADHD, medication is a key aspect of their journey. It can be difficult to get an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be extremely long, and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

One way to get around this is to request your GP to refer you to Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). This means you can select an organization that offers a private assessment and titration service. This will cut down your waiting time significantly and is more convenient if you are working and have a full schedule.

After you have been diagnosed, your doctor will examine your condition to determine if you require medication adjustment. You will be asked to fill in forms that are different for each provider, but the main ones are self-report questionnaires and medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will help your clinician determine if there are factors that could mean that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication, when they've been prescribed.

If you are titrated, the medication will consist of a mixture of stimulants and nonstimulant medications. These will be carefully assessed and monitored to determine the right combination for you. The titration procedure can be lengthy and may require multiple appointments before your dose is stable.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments will depend on the type and quantity of medication you are taking. They can be scheduled for monthly or quarterly. Your physician will make sure that you are stable with the medication, record any side effects you've experienced, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you remain on a safe dose. You'll also have to attend a routine health check, which could include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements and an annual check-up.

Some patients may be content with their medication and therefore do not have to discuss their titration in more detail. However, for those who require further discussions regarding their titration and treatment plan it's possible to be referred back to the same private clinic that performed their initial assessment. If this occurs, the titration appointment will be included in the consultation fee, and they will receive their medication via an individual prescription (see Consultation fees above). This can cost more than prescriptions from the NHS, as the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
