Private ADHD Titration

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

Our service is private ADHD treatment instead of waiting for NHS funding via Right to Choose. Our fees for assessments include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A highly experienced consultant psychiatrist will conduct a thorough assessment of your ADHD. This will include an examination of your medical history as well as an assessment using the common ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your examination, you will be advised whether medication may be beneficial in your case. This will be discussed during your follow-up appointment (which may be scheduled in person, via video link or over the phone). Your doctor will explain the various options for medication and if you decide to begin taking medication, we will recommend titrating dosage to ensure the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process may take a few weeks and requires gradually altering your child's dosage until the right balance is reached. It is not uncommon to to adjust up to three different medicines before you find the one that best fits your child's ADHD. It is essential that parents are involved in the titration and keep an eye out for their child's behavior so they can inform doctors whether the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

Follow-up appointments

This will include an assessment of your medication dose and an examination of any adverse effects you may be experiencing. These titration sessions cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 via telephone or video consultation. The pharmacy will be charged for any medication costs.

The psychiatrist will also inquire with you about your family background and the impact your ADHD symptoms have on your life, including any relationship issues you might be having or other mental health issues you might be experiencing. This is because ADHD can be a genetic condition and it is crucial to look into 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 be using the information you provide to determine whether you are able to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.

If you're not sure which one you prefer, we suggest that you talk with your GP prior to booking your private examination 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 sent back to them to get the medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is an integral aspect of the treatment process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. It isn't easy to obtain a prescription from a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long, and GPs are often reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

Requesting your GP to refer you to Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry UK and ADHD 360). This means that you can select an organization that offers a private titration adhd assessment and titration meaning adhd service. This can reduce your wait time significantly and is more convenient if you're working and have a busy schedule.

Once you've been referred, your clinician will assess you to determine if you need medication adjustment. You will be asked to fill out forms that are different for each provider, but the most important ones are self-report questionnaires as well as medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are any reasons that suggest you shouldn't be taking ADHD medications, when they've been prescribed.

If you are titrated, the medication will consist of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. These will be carefully examined and monitored to determine the best combination for you. The titration process may be lengthy and may require some additional appointments before you're able to stay on your dosage.

Based on the type of medication you are taking, follow up appointments could be scheduled monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor checking to see if you are on the right medication, recording any side effects you have had and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you remain on a dose that is safe. You'll also have to undergo a regular health check that may include blood pressure, pulse and weight readings as well as an annual check-up.

Some patients may be content with their medication and therefore do not require discussing their titration process further. If you need to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan further it is possible that you will be referred to the private adhd titration clinic who made your initial assessment. In this scenario, the titration will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will then be given via an individual prescription. This could cost more than an NHS prescription since the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
