Our service is private ADHD titration instead of waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessments are free and include the cost of one prescription.

Titration

A highly experienced psychiatrist consultant will conduct a thorough evaluation of your adhd titration waiting list. This will include a medical history and an assessment using the typical ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your evaluation You will be advised that medication may be beneficial for your particular situation. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which can take place 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 suggest titrating the dose to maximize the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This process could take several weeks, and involves gradually adjusting your child’s medication until the appropriate balance is achieved. It's not uncommon to have to titrate three or four medications before finding the best one for your child's ADHD symptoms. Parents must participate in this titration process, and keep an watchful eye on their child's behavior to let the doctor know whether the medication is working or causing side effects.

Make sure that your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them once you leave the clinic to get a prescriptions for medication.

Medication

For many who wish to obtain an official diagnosis of ADHD medication is an important element of their treatment. Finding a prescription from an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and long-winded. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer their patients to specialist services.

One method to avoid this is to request your GP to refer you to Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can pick a provider who offers an assessment that is private and the titration. This will help you save time and be more convenient, especially when you are on a tight work schedule.

Once you've been recommended, your physician will examine you to determine if you need medication adjustment. You will be asked to fill in forms that differ by doctor but the most important ones are self-report questionnaires as well as medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor to determine if there are any circumstances that indicate you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication, if they have been prescribed.

If you are being titrated the medication will consist of a mixture of stimulants and nonstimulant medicines. These will be carefully tested and monitored to find the right combination for you. The titration process may be lengthy and may need several 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, logging any side effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure you are on a safe dosage. You'll also have to attend a regular health check which can include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements as well as an annual review.

For some it could be that they are happy with their medication and don't need an additional discussion regarding their titration. If you're looking to discuss your titration or treatment plan in more detail it is possible that you will be referred back to the private clinic that performed your initial evaluation. In this scenario, the titration will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will then be provided through a private adhd medication titration prescription. This could cost more than an NHS prescription because the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
