Private ADHD Titration

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

Our service is 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 comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist. This includes a complete medical history and an assessment using the typical ADHD questionnaires and rating scales.

After your examination, you will be informed that medication may be beneficial in your case. This will happen at your follow up appointment (which could be in person via video link or by telephone). Your doctor will explain what medication options are available and, if you decide to begin taking medication, we will offer to titrate dosage to ensure the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process can take a few 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 as high as three different medications until you discover the one that best fits your child's ADHD. It's important for parents to participate in this titration process, and keep an eye on their child's behavior so that they can inform the doctor if the medicine is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to go back to NHS treatment, you will receive an individual prescription for your medication. You will have to pay at the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation cost. You must attend six-monthly appointments to check your medications. This includes the measurement of pulse and blood pressure. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the assessment is completed you will be able to make appointment with the psychiatrist as appropriate. The appointment is typically conducted through a zoom video call. However, in some cases, it may be possible to have an audio-only consultation to be conducted (again with an additional cost).

In this session, we'll discuss any treatment options and decide on a custom-made ADHD medication titration strategy. This will include a discussion and review of your medication dose and any side effects that you might be experiencing. These titrations cost PS150 for face-toface sessions and PS60 via telephone or video consultation. Costs for medication are extra and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The doctor will also ask you about your family background and the impact your adhd titration meaning symptoms can have on your life, as well as any relationship issues you might be facing or any other mental health problems that you may be suffering from. This is because ADHD is a genetic condition and it is essential to look into any family history that may suggest that you are at risk of developing the disorder.

It is essential that you are honest and open with the clinician during the assessment, since the information they receive will be used to determine if your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is a crucial step in the process, because if you don't do it, it could result in an incorrect diagnosis and consequently an inappropriate prescription of medication.

If you have decided that you'd like to be treated for your ADHD, we will then arrange a follow up appointment with one of our psychiatrists who specialise in this area. This can be done at the time of your diagnosis if you want to start treatment right away or within two weeks if would like more time to think about the implications of your diagnosis and the possibilities available to you.

If you aren't sure what your preference is We suggest you talk with your GP before booking your private assessment as some providers have different policies regarding whether they require the submission of a GP referral letter or not. We also recommend to confirm that your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement which means that once you are discharged from the clinic you will be returned to them for the medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is a key part of the journey for many who are seeking a private ADHD diagnosis. The process of getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and lengthy. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long, and GPs might be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

Asking your GP to refer through Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry - UK and adhd titration meaning 360). You can choose a service that provides an assessment that is private and titration for adhd. This will help you save time and be more convenient, particularly when you are on a tight work schedule.

Once you've been referred, your clinician will evaluate you to determine if you require medication titration. You will be asked to fill out forms that differ by doctor but the most common ones are self-report questionnaires and medical histories from childhood to adulthood. They will help your physician identify any conditions that could suggest you should not take ADHD medications if they're prescribed.

If you are titrated on medication, this will usually be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. These will be carefully assessed and monitored to determine the most suitable combination for you. The process of titration can be lengthy and may require a few extra appointments before you're able to stay on your dose.

Depending on the type of medication you're taking, follow up appointments could be scheduled monthly or quarterly. Your doctor will ensure whether you are safe with the medication, record any adverse reactions you have experienced and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you remain on a safe dosage. You will also be required to attend a regular health check, which could include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements and an annual review.

For some individuals it could be that they are happy with their medication and don't need any further discussion on their titration. If you're required to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan more thoroughly it is possible that you'll be sent to the private clinic who made your initial assessment. In this instance the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will then be provided through a private prescription. This can cost more than prescriptions from the NHS because the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
