Private ADHD Titration There is a national shortage of medication to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due to manufacturing problems and increased global demand. Our service is able to offer private ADHD titration as an alternative to waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our fees for assessments include the cost of one prescription. Titration A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be carried out by a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist. his explanation includes a thorough medical history and an assessment using the common ADHD questionnaires and rating scales. Following your assessment you will be informed whether medication may be beneficial in your case. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which could be in person, via video link or by phone). Your doctor will explain what medication options are available and, if you choose to begin taking medication, we will offer to titrate the dose to optimise the balance of benefits and side effects for you. This process can take several weeks and it involves gradually altering your child’s medication until the proper balance has been achieved. It's not uncommon to need to titrate three or four medications before finding the one that is best for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is essential for parents to participate in this titration process and keep a close watchful eye on their child's behavior to let the doctor know if the medicine is helping or causing adverse effects. If you decide to return to NHS treatment, you will receive an individual prescription for your medication. You will have to pay at the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation fee. You will be required to attend every six months to check your medication. This includes blood pressure and pulse readings. Annual reviews are also required. Follow-up appointments Once the assessment is completed and you are satisfied, you can schedule appointment with the psychiatrist. titrating medication takes place on zoom video call however in some instances it may be possible to schedule an audio-only consultation (again at an additional cost). We will then go over the options for treatment and then decide on a bespoke, individualised ADHD medication titration. This will include a review of your medication dosage as well as a discussion of any possible negative side effects you may be experiencing. These titrations cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions, and PS60 via video or telephone consultation. The pharmacy will charge you for any medication costs. The psychiatrist will ask 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 might be experiencing. This is due to the fact that ADHD can be an inheritable condition, and it is crucial to examine any family history that might indicate whether you are at risk of developing the disorder. During this assessment it is essential to be truthful and open with the doctor who will be using the information you provide to determine whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is a crucial step in the process, since a failure to do so could result in an inaccurate diagnosis, and thus an incorrect prescribing of medication. If you have decided that you would like to receive treatment 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 right away it is possible to start treatment when you are diagnosed. You can also take two weeks to think about the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you. If you aren't sure which one you prefer, we suggest that you speak to your GP prior to scheduling your private examination as some providers have different rules regarding whether they require a GP referral letter or not. We also suggest that you check whether your GP accepts a “Shared-Care Agreement', which means that once you are discharged from the clinic you will be referred back to them for the prescription for the medication. Medication Medication is a key element of the process for many people seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. It isn't always easy to obtain an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs are often 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). You can pick a provider who offers an assessment that is private and the titration. This will cut down your waiting time considerably and can be more convenient if you're working and have a hectic schedule. If you are referred, your clinician will evaluate you to determine if you need medication titration. You will be asked to fill out forms that are different for each provider, but the most important ones are self-report forms and medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are factors that could mean you shouldn't take ADHD medication, even in the event that they've been prescribed. If you are on a titration medication, this will usually include a mix of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. They will be carefully tested and monitored to determine the best combination for you, taking into consideration any existing conditions you have. The titration procedure can be long and may require multiple appointments before your dose is stable. The frequency of your follow-up appointments will depend on the type and quantity of medication that you are taking. They can be scheduled for monthly or quarterly. Your physician will make sure whether you are stable on the medication, document any side effects you have experienced and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you remain on a safe dosage. You are required to attend an annual review as well as a routine health exam that includes pulse, blood pressure, and weight measurements. For some, it may be that they are satisfied with their medication and don't require a further discussion about their titration. If you're looking to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan more thoroughly, it is possible that you'll be referred back to the private doctor who performed your initial assessment. In this scenario the titration will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will be administered via a private prescription. This may cost more than prescriptions from the NHS because the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
