Private ADHD Titration There is a current national shortage of medications that treat ADHD symptoms. This is due to manufacturing issues and a growing global demand. Our service offers 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 experienced consultant psychiatrist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your ADHD. This includes a thorough medical history, and an evaluation using the standard ADHD questionnaires and rating scales. Following your assessment you will be advised whether medication may be beneficial for your situation. The discussion will take place at your follow-up appointment (which may be scheduled in person, via video link, or over the phone). Your doctor will go over the various medication options available. If you decide to begin medication, we can help you the opportunity to increase your dosage to ensure the best balance of benefits and side effects for you. This is a process which can take several weeks. It involves adjusting your child's medication gradually until the appropriate balance is achieved. It is not unusual to need to titrate two or three medicines before finding the best one for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is crucial that parents participate in the titration and be aware of their child's behavior, so they can inform doctors 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 fee. You must attend six-monthly appointments to monitor your medications. This includes pulse and blood pressure measurements. Annual reviews are also required. Follow-up appointments After the assessment is complete after the assessment is completed, you can make follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist. The appointment will usually be conducted through a zoom video call. In some cases, it may be possible for an audio-only consultation to be scheduled (again with an additional cost). We will then go over the options for treatment and then decide on a bespoke, individualised ADHD medication adjustment. This will include an assessment of your medication dosage as well as a discussion of any possible negative side effects you may be experiencing. The titration sessions cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 via video or telephone consultation. The pharmacy will charge you for any medication costs. The doctor will also ask you about your family history and the impact that your ADHD symptoms can have on your life, as well as any relationship issues you might be having or other mental health problems that you might be experiencing. This is because ADHD can be a genetic condition and it is crucial that we assess any family history that could indicate that you're at risk of developing the disorder. It is crucial to be honest and transparent with your doctor during this assessment, as the information they gather will be used to determine whether your ADHD is in line with the diagnostic criteria. This is a crucial step in the process as failing to do so could result in an inaccurate diagnosis and therefore inappropriate prescribing of medication. If you've decided you'd like to be treated for your ADHD, we will then schedule a follow-up appointment with one of our psychiatrists that specialize in this field. If you'd like to start treatment immediately you can start treatment at the time of diagnosis. You can also take two weeks to think about the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you. We suggest that if are unsure of your preferences, you speak with your GP prior to booking your private appointment. Certain providers have different guidelines regarding whether or not they require the submission of a GP letter. We also recommend to confirm that your GP accepts a “Shared-Care Agreement that means that once discharged from the clinic, you will be sent back to them to get the prescription for medication. Medication For many people who want an official diagnosis of ADHD medication is a crucial element of their treatment. The process of getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and lengthy. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long, and GPs can 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 360). This means you can select one that provides an assessment and titration service. This will help you save time and be more convenient, especially when you are on a tight work schedule. Once you have been identified as a candidate for this treatment, your chosen clinician will assess you and decide whether or not you're required to be monitored for a dose of medication. You'll need to complete forms that vary by doctor but the most frequent ones are self-reporting questionnaires and medical histories going to your childhood and into adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor to determine if there are factors that could mean that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medications, when they've been prescribed. If you are being titrated, the medication will be a combination stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. The combination will be carefully tested and monitored to determine the best combination for you, taking into account any current conditions you suffer from. The titration procedure can be long and may require multiple 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 scheduled for monthly or quarterly. ADHD titration waiting list will include your physician making sure that you are stable on the medication, recording any side effects you've experienced and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you remain in a safe dosage. You will be required to attend an annual health check-up and routine health exam that includes blood pressure, pulse, and weight measurements. For some people it could be because they are satisfied with their medication and don't require a further discussion about their titration. If, however, they do need further discussions about their titration and treatment plan it's possible to be passed back to the private clinic that conducted their initial assessment. If this occurs, the titration consultation will be included in their consultation fee and they will receive their medication on private prescription (see Consultation fees above). This can cost more than an NHS prescription because the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
