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

Our service can provide private ADHD treatment as an alternative to waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessments are free and include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A thorough evaluation of your ADHD symptoms will be carried out by a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist. This includes a thorough medical history, and an evaluation using the standard adhd titration waiting list questionnaires and rating scales.

After your evaluation You will be advised whether medication is appropriate for your specific situation. The discussion will take place at your follow-up appointment (which could be in person, by video link or over the phone). Your clinician will explain the various options for medication and if you decide to begin taking medication, we will suggest titrating 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 right balance is achieved. It's not uncommon to need to adjust several times before finding the one that is best for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is crucial that parents are involved in the titration process and keep an eye out for their child's behavior, so they can inform the doctor if the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to go back to NHS treatment, you will receive a private prescription for your medication. You will be required to pay the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation cost. You will need to attend six-monthly appointments to monitor your medications. This includes pulse and blood pressure measurements. Annual checks are also required.

Follow-up appointments

After the evaluation is completed, you can schedule appointment with the psychiatrist. Usually the appointment will take place through a video call using zoom but in certain circumstances it may be possible to have an audio only consultation (again at an extra cost).

At this point, we will discuss any treatment options we have and decide on a custom-made ADHD medication titration program. This will include a review and discussion of your dosage of medication and any adverse effects you may be experiencing. The cost for these titration sessions is PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 for online or telephone video consultations. The pharmacy will charge you for any medication costs.

The psychiatrist will ask questions about your family history, the impact of your ADHD symptoms on your daily life and any mental health issues that you might be experiencing. ADHD is a genetic condition, and it's vital to examine your family background to determine if you're at chance of developing this disorder.

It is crucial that you are honest and open with the clinician during this assessment, as the information they gather will be used to determine whether your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is a vital part of the process, as failing to do so could result in an inaccurate diagnosis and therefore inappropriate prescribing of medication.

If you've decided you would like to receive treatment for your adhd titration waiting list, we will then schedule a follow-up appointment with one of our psychiatrists that specialize in this area. This can be done within the first few days of your diagnosis if you want to start treatment immediately, or within two weeks if you prefer to take time to consider the implications of your diagnosis and the possibilities that are available to you.

If you aren't sure what your preference is We suggest you talk to your GP before booking your private assessment as some providers have different policies about whether they require an GP referral letter or not. We also advise that you check whether your GP accepts a 'Shared Care Agreement which means that once you are discharged from the clinic, you will be referred back to them for the medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is an integral part of the journey for many people seeking a private ADHD diagnosis. Getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and long-winded. NHS waiting lists can be extremely how long does adhd titration take and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

One method to circumvent this is to ask your GP to refer you to Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can choose a service that offers a private assessment service and titration. This can reduce your wait time by a significant amount and is more convenient if you are working and have a full schedule.

Once you have been recommended by this method, your chosen clinician will examine you and decide whether or not you need to be titrated on medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that vary by provider but the main ones are self-report forms and medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will help your clinician determine if there are circumstances that indicate you shouldn't take ADHD medication, if they have been prescribed.

If you are on a titration medication, it will typically consist of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. They will be examined and monitored to determine the best combination for you. The titration procedure 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 you're taking. They can be monthly or quarterly. Your physician will make sure that you are stable with the medication, record any adverse reactions you have experienced and make any needed adjustments to ensure that you remain on a safe dosage. You will be required to go to an annual health check-up and routine health exam that includes pulse, blood pressure, and weight measurements.

For some people it could be that they are happy with their medication and don't need any further discussion on their titration. However, for those who do need further discussions about their titration and treatment plan it's possible to be passed back to the same private clinic that made their initial assessment. In this scenario the titration adhd adults will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will be administered via the private prescription. This can cost more than an NHS prescription as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
