Medication

Medication is an integral element of the process for many who are looking for a private ADHD diagnosis. It can be difficult to get an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

They will help your physician determine any issues that could indicate that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medication if prescribed.

Depending on the kind of medication you're taking, follow-up appointments can be scheduled either monthly or quarterly. This will include your physician checking that you are taking the correct medication, logging any side effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure you are on a dose that is safe. You'll also be required to undergo a regular health check that may include blood pressure, pulse and weight readings as well as an annual check-up.

Some people may be satisfied with their medication, and therefore do not need to discuss their titration process further. If you're looking to discuss your titration or treatment plan in more detail it is likely that you'll be referred to the private clinic who performed your initial assessment. In this instance 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 a prescription from the NHS since the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
