Private ADHD Titration

There is a national shortage of medications that treat ADHD symptoms. This is due both to manufacturing issues and an increased demand in the world.

Our service provides 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 assessment of your ADHD. This will include a medical history and an assessment using the common ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your evaluation, you will be informed that medication may be beneficial for your specific situation. This will take place at your follow-up appointment (which could be in person, via video link or via phone). Your physician will explain to you the various options for medication and, if you decide to begin taking medication, we will suggest titrating the dose to maximize the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This process may take several weeks and it involves gradually altering your child's medication until the appropriate balance has been achieved. It's not uncommon to have to titrate three or four medications before finding the best one for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is crucial that parents take part in the titration process adhd and keep an eye out for their child's behavior so they can inform doctors whether the medication is working or causing adverse reactions.

If you do not decide to return to NHS treatment and have decided to return to NHS care, your medication will be issued with an individual prescription that you will need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in the consultation fee). You'll be required to attend six monthly appointments to monitor your medication - this includes blood pressure and pulse readings. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is completed, you will be able to book appointment with your psychiatrist, if necessary. The appointment will usually be conducted through a zoom video call. In some circumstances, it might be possible for an audio-only appointment to be scheduled (again with an additional cost).

At this point, we will discuss any treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised adhd medication titration adhd (telegra.ph) strategy.

These titration adhd adults sessions cost PS150 for face-toface sessions and PS60 via video or telephone consultation. The cost of medication is additional and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will ask questions regarding your family history as well as the impact of your ADHD symptoms on your daily life and any relationship problems or mental health issues you might be suffering from. This is because ADHD can be a genetic condition and it is important that we assess any family history that could suggest that you are at risk of developing the disorder.

During this examination, it is essential to be truthful and open with the doctor who will use the information you provide to determine whether you have the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is an important step, since an incorrect diagnosis could lead to inappropriate medication prescription.

If you've decided you would like to receive treatment for your ADHD We will set up a follow-up appointment with one of our psychiatrists that specialize in this area. This can be scheduled at the time of your diagnosis if are keen to begin treatment immediately, or within two weeks if you prefer to take time to consider the implications of your diagnosis and the alternatives available to you.

If you are unsure of what your preference is it is recommended that you talk to your GP prior to booking your private titration adhd examination as some providers have different rules regarding whether they require an GP referral letter or not. We also recommend that you check whether your GP accepts a "Shared Care Agreement that means that once you are discharged from the clinic you will be sent back to them to get the medication prescription.

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 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.

Inquiring your GP to refer through Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry UK and ADHD 360). You can choose a service that offers a private assessment service and the titration. This can help you to save time and also be more convenient, particularly if you have a busy work schedule.

Once you have been recommended by this method your chosen doctor will evaluate you and determine whether or not you're required to be titrated on medication. You will need to fill out forms that are different for each provider but the most frequent ones are self-reporting questionnaires and medical histories going to your childhood and into adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are any factors that could mean you shouldn't be taking ADHD medications, in the event that they've been prescribed.

If you are titrated on medication, this will usually include a mix of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. The combination will be carefully tested and monitored to find the most effective combination for you, taking into account any existing conditions you have. The titration process can be a lengthy process and may require a number of additional appointments before your dose is stable.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments is contingent on the type and amount of medication that you are taking. They can be monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor making sure that you are stable on the medication, noting any adverse effects you have had and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you're on a dose that is safe. You will also be required to attend a routine health check that may include blood pressure readings, pulse and weight and an annual check-up.

For some, it may be that they are happy with their medication and don't require an additional discussion regarding their titration. If you need to discuss your titration or treatment plan in more detail it is possible that you'll be sent back to the private doctor who made your initial assessment. In this scenario, the titration will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will then be given via a private prescription. This can cost more than an NHS prescription as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
