Private ADHD Titration There is currently a nationwide shortage of medications to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due to manufacturing problems and a growing global demand. Our service is able to offer private ADHD treatment as an alternative to waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessment fees cover the cost of one prescription. titration ADHD medications of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by a highly experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This will include an examination of your medical history as well as an assessment using the standard ADHD rating scales and questionnaires. After your evaluation, you will be advised if medication is considered to be beneficial for your situation. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which could be in person by video link, in person or by phone). Your clinician will explain what medication options are available and, if you decide to start on medication we will recommend titrating the dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you. This is a process which could take a few weeks. It involves adjusting your child's medication gradually until the proper balance is reached. 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 be involved in this titration process, and keep an eye on their child's behavior to inform the doctor whether the medication is working or causing adverse effects. If you decide to return to NHS care, your medication will be issued with an individual prescription that you'll have to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fee). You'll need to attend six-monthly appointments to monitor your medication. This includes the measurement of pulse and blood pressure. Annual checks are also required. Follow-up appointments After the assessment is complete after the assessment is completed, you can make follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist. Usually the appointment will take place on zoom video call but in certain circumstances it might be possible to have an audio-only consultation (again at an extra cost). We will then discuss the options for treatment and then decide on a bespoke, individualised ADHD medication adjustment. This will include a review and discussion of your dosage of medication and any adverse effects you might be experiencing. The cost for these titration appointments is PS150 for face to face sessions and PS60 for online or phone video consultations. The cost of medication is additional and are paid directly to the pharmacy. The psychiatrist will ask you questions about your family history as well as the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your life, and any relationship problems or mental health issues that you might be suffering from. This is due to the fact that ADHD can be an inheritable condition, and it is important to examine any family history that might indicate that you're at risk of developing the disorder. It is important that you are honest and open with your doctor during the assessment, since the information they gather will be used to determine if your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is a vital part of the process, as failing to do so could result in an inaccurate diagnosis and therefore inappropriate prescribing of medication. If you decide to be treated for ADHD, we'll arrange an appointment to follow-up with a psychiatrist that is skilled in this field. This can be scheduled at the time of your diagnosis if you are eager to begin treatment immediately, or within two weeks if prefer to take time to think about the implications of your diagnosis and the possibilities available to you. If you are unsure of what you would prefer We suggest you talk with your GP before booking your private appointment as certain providers have different policies regarding whether they require an GP referral letter or not. Find out if your GP accepts a Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them once you leave the clinic to get a prescription medication. Medication Medication is a key element of the process for many people who are looking for a private ADHD diagnosis. Getting an appointment with an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and time-consuming. NHS waiting lists can be extremely long and GPs might be reluctant to refer their patients to specialist services. Inquiring your GP to refer you to Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry UK and ADHD 360). You can choose a service that provides a private assessment service and titration. This can reduce your wait time by a significant amount and is more convenient when you are working and have a hectic schedule. After you've been recommended by this method your chosen doctor will evaluate you and determine whether or not you're required to be titrated on medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that differ by doctor but the main ones are self-report forms and medical histories from childhood and adulthood. These forms will assist your doctor to determine if there are circumstances that indicate you shouldn't take ADHD medication, when they've been prescribed. If you are being titrated on medication, it is likely to be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. These will be carefully trialled and monitored to determine the best combination for you, taking into consideration any current conditions you suffer from. The process of titration can be long and could require several additional appointments before you are stable on your dosage. The frequency of your follow-up appointments will be contingent on the type and quantity of medication that you are taking. They can be monthly or quarterly. This will include your physician checking to see if you are stable on the medication, recording any side effects you have had and making any adjustments needed to ensure that you remain on a safe dosage. You will be required to attend an annual review as well as a routine health exam that includes pulse, blood pressure and weight measurements. For some it could be because they are happy with their medication and don't require an additional discussion regarding their titration. However, for those who do need further discussions about the titration process and treatment plan, it's possible that they will be referred back to the same private clinic that conducted their initial assessment. If this occurs, the titration consultation will be included in the consultation fee and they will receive their medication on private prescription (see Consultation fees above). This could cost more than an NHS prescription as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
