Titration

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

After your examination, you will be advised if medication is considered to be beneficial for your situation. This will be discussed at your follow up appointment (which could be in person via video link or by telephone). Your clinician will discuss the various options for medications available. If you decide to start medication, we can help you to titrate your dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process could take a few weeks, and requires adjusting your child's dosage slowly until the right balance is achieved. It is not unusual to need to titrate several times before finding the best one for your child's ADHD symptoms. Parents must participate in this titration process, and keep an eye on their child's behaviour to let the doctor know whether the medication is helping or causing side effects.

If you do not decide to return to NHS care 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 will need to attend six-monthly appointments to monitor your medications. This includes the measurement of pulse and blood pressure. Annual exams are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Once the evaluation has been completed, you'll be able to make appointment with your psychiatrist, if necessary. Usually the appointment will take place via a zoom video call however in some instances it might be possible to have an audio only consultation (again at an extra cost).

In this session, we'll discuss any treatment options we have and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration plan. This will include an assessment of your medication dose and an examination of any adverse effects you may be experiencing. The cost for these titration sessions is PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 for telephone or online video consultations. The pharmacy will be charged for any charges for medication.

The psychiatrist will also ask you about your family background and the impact your ADHD symptoms have on your life, including any issues with relationships you may be facing or any other mental health problems that you may be experiencing. This is due to the fact that ADHD is a genetic disorder and it is essential that we assess any family history that could indicate that you're at risk of developing the disorder.

It is essential to be honest and truthful with your doctor during this evaluation, as the information they get will be used to determine whether your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria.

This can be done within the first few days of your diagnosis if want to start treatment immediately, or within two weeks if you would like more time to think about the implications of your diagnosis and the options 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 adhd medication titration assessment. Some providers have different policies on whether or not they require an GP letter. We also recommend to check if your GP accepts a "Shared Care Agreement', which means that once discharged from the clinic you will be returned to them for the medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is an integral element of the process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. It isn't easy to obtain prescriptions from psychiatrists on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long, and GPs might be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

One way to get around this is to ask your GP to refer you to Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can pick a provider that offers a private assessment service and titration. This can help you to save time and also be more convenient, particularly in the event of a hectic work schedule.

If you are recommended by this method your chosen doctor will evaluate you and determine whether or not you're required to be monitored for a dose of medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that differ by doctor but the most common ones are self-report questionnaires and medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor to determine if there are circumstances that indicate that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication, when they've been prescribed.

If you are on a titration adhd medication, it is likely to be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. These will be carefully assessed and monitored to determine the best combination for you. The process of titration can be lengthy and may need a few extra appointments before you're stable on your dosage.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments will depend on the type and amount of medication you're taking. They can be monthly or quarterly. Your doctor will ensure whether you are stable on the medication, note any adverse reactions you have experienced and make any needed adjustments to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You will also be required to attend a regular health check, which could include blood pressure, pulse and weight readings and an annual check-up.

Some patients may be content with their medication and therefore do not require discussing their titration process further. For those who do need further discussions about their titration adhd meds and treatment plan it's possible to be passed back to the same private clinic that conducted their initial assessment. In this instance the titration is included in the consultation cost. The medication will then be administered via a private prescription. This can cost more than prescriptions from the NHS, as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
