5 Reasons Private ADHD Titration Is A Good Thing
Private ADHD Titration

There is a nationwide shortage of medication that helps to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due both to manufacturing problems and an increase in demand worldwide.

Our service provides private ADHD treatment instead of waiting for NHS funding via Right to Choose. Our assessment fees cover the cost of a single prescription.

Titration

A highly experienced psychiatrist consultant will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your ADHD. This includes an examination of your medical history as well as an assessment using the common ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After IamPsychiatry , you will be informed that medication may be beneficial for your specific situation. This will happen at your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person by video link, in person or by telephone). Your physician will explain to you the various options for medication and if you decide to begin taking medication, we will recommend titrating dosage to ensure the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This process could take several weeks, and it involves gradually altering your child's dosage until the right balance has been achieved. It is not uncommon to to titrate up to three different medications before you find the one that is most suitable for your child's ADHD. It is essential that parents participate in the titration process and be aware of their child's behavior, so they can let the doctors know if the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to go back to NHS treatment you will be issued a private prescription for your medication. You will be required to pay the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation cost. You must attend every six months to check your medication - this includes blood pressure and pulse readings. Annual reviews 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. Typically, the appointment will take place through a video call using zoom, although in certain cases it may be possible to schedule an audio only consultation (again at an extra cost).

In this session, we'll discuss treatment options and come up with a unique ADHD medication titration strategy. This will include a review of your medication dosage and an examination of any negative side effects you may be experiencing. These titration sessions cost PS150 for face-to-face sessions, and PS60 by video or phone consultation. The pharmacy will charge you for any charges for medication.

The psychiatrist will ask you questions regarding your family history, the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your life and any relationship problems or mental health issues you might be suffering from. This is because ADHD can be a genetic condition and it is essential that we assess any family history that might indicate whether you are at risk of developing the disorder.

During the assessment, it is essential that you are honest and open with the doctor who will use the information you provide to determine if you are able to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This is an important step because the wrong diagnosis can result in a prescription for medication that is not appropriate.

If you decide to be treated for ADHD we'll schedule an appointment for a follow-up visit with a psychiatrist that is skilled in this field. This can be scheduled at the time of your diagnosis if want to start treatment right away or within two weeks if you prefer to take 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 that you talk with your GP before booking your private examination as some providers have different policies regarding whether they require an GP referral letter or not. Check if your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means that you will be referred to them once you leave the clinic for medication prescription.

Medication

Medication is a key part of the journey for many who are looking for an official ADHD diagnosis. It isn't easy to obtain an appointment with a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

One method to circumvent this is to ask your GP to refer you to Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can choose a service that provides an assessment on your own and titration. This can cut down on wait time considerably and can be more convenient if you're working and have a busy schedule.

After you have been diagnosed, your doctor will assess your condition 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 to adulthood. They will help your physician determine any issues that could suggest you should not take ADHD medications if they're prescribed.


If you are being titrated, the medication will be a combination stimulants and nonstimulant medicines. They will be 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. This will involve your clinician checking that you are on the right medication, noting any adverse effects you've experienced, and making any adjustments needed 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 readings, pulse and weight and an annual review.

For some people it could be that they are satisfied with their medication and don't require a further discussion about their titration. If, however, they require further discussion about the titration process and treatment plan, it is possible that they will be passed back to the private clinic that performed their initial assessment. In this case the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will be given via a private prescription. This can cost more than a prescription from the NHS because the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
