Private ADHD Titration

There is currently a nationwide shortage of medications that treat ADHD symptoms. This is due both to manufacturing problems and an increased demand in the world.

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 highly skilled consultant psychiatrist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your ADHD. This will include a medical history and an assessment using the common adhd titration private rating scales and questionnaires.

After your examination, you will be informed that medication may be beneficial for your specific situation. This will happen during your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person, via video link or via phone). Your doctor will explain what medication options are available and, if you choose to start on medication we will offer to titrate the dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process could take a few weeks and requires adjusting your child's dosage slowly until the right balance is achieved. It's not uncommon to have to titrate as high as three different medications before you can find the one that best fits your child's ADHD. It is important that parents take part in the titration and be on the lookout for their child's behavior so that they can inform the doctor whether the medication is helping or causing adverse reactions.

If you do not decide to return to NHS care the medication you take will be provided with a prescription from a private pharmacy that you'll need to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees). You will need to keep up with your appointments every six months to monitor your medication. This includes pulse and blood pressure measurements. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Once the assessment has been completed, you will be able to schedule follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist, as appropriate. The appointment is typically conducted through a zoom video call. In some instances, it could be possible to have an audio-only consultation to be conducted (again with an additional cost).

In this session, we'll discuss any treatment options we have and decide on a custom-made ADHD medication titration program. This will include an assessment of your medication dosage as well as a discussion of any possible side effects you might be experiencing. These titration sessions cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 by video or phone consultation. Costs for medication are extra and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will ask you questions regarding your family history as well as the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your life and any relationship problems or mental health issues you may be experiencing. ADHD can be a genetic condition, which is why it's crucial to assess your family history to determine if you are at a higher risk of developing this disorder.

It is essential that you are honest and transparent to the doctor during this assessment, as the information they get will be used to determine whether your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is a crucial step, since the wrong diagnosis can result in an inappropriate prescription of medication.

If you have decided that you would like to be treated for your adhd titration, we will then set up a follow-up appointment with one of our psychiatrists who specialise in this field. This can be done within the first few days of your diagnosis if are keen to begin treatment right away, or within two weeks if you would like more time to consider the implications of your diagnosis and the options that are available to you.

If you aren't sure what you would prefer We suggest you speak with your GP before booking your private examination as some providers have different policies about whether they require the submission of a GP referral letter or not. We also suggest to check if your GP accepts a "Shared Care Agreement', which means that after you have been discharged from the clinic, you will be referred back to them for the medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is an integral element of the process for many people seeking a private ADHD diagnosis. The process of getting a prescription from an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and time-consuming.

This means that you can choose a provider that offers a private assessment and titration service. This will help you reduce time and be more convenient, particularly in the event of a hectic work schedule.

You'll need to fill out forms that differ by provider, but the most common ones are self-reporting forms and medical histories dating back to childhood and adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor identify any factors that might mean you shouldn't take ADHD medication if prescribed.

If you are being titrated on medication, it will typically consist of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. These will be carefully trialled and monitored to find the most suitable combination for you, taking into consideration any current conditions you suffer from. The process of titration can be lengthy and may require several additional appointments before you're stable on your dosage.

Based on the type of medication you are taking, follow up appointments will be either monthly or quarterly. This will include your physician checking that you are taking the correct medication, recording any side effects you've experienced, and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you're on a safe dosage. You will be required to attend an annual review as well as a routine health examination which includes pulse, blood pressure and weight measurements.

For some it could be because they are content with their medication and don't require an additional discussion regarding their titration. If you're looking to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan in more detail it is possible that you will be referred back to the private titration adhd (reali.esport.ge) doctor who performed your initial assessment.
