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

Our service is able to provide 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 thorough evaluation of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted with a highly experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This will include a medical history and an assessment using the common ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.

After your examination, you will be advised that medication may be beneficial in your case. This will take place at your follow up appointment (which can be scheduled in person, via video link or by phone). Your clinician will explain what is titration adhd medication options are available and if you decide to start on medication we will suggest titrating the dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.

This is a process which may take several weeks and involves adjusting the dosage of your child's medication slowly until the right balance is achieved.

You'll be required to attend every six months to check your medication. This includes pulse and blood pressure readings. Annual checks are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Once the evaluation has been completed, you will be able to make follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist, as appropriate. The appointment usually takes place through a video call using zoom, although in certain cases it may be possible to do an audio-only consultation (again at an additional cost).

In this session, we'll discuss treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration plan.

The cost for these titration consultations is PS150 for face-to-face sessions and PS60 for online or telephone video consultations. Medication costs are additional and are paid directly to the pharmacy.

The psychiatrist will also ask you about your family history and the impact your ADHD symptoms can have on your life, as well as any issues with relationships you may be experiencing or other mental health problems that you may be experiencing.

We suggest that if you are unsure of your preferences, you speak with your GP prior to booking your private appointment. Certain providers have different policies regarding whether they require the submission of a GP letter. We also suggest that you check whether your GP accepts a 'Shared Care Agreement', which means that once discharged from the clinic you will be referred back to them for the prescription for the medication.

Medication

The medication process is an essential element of the process for many who are seeking an official ADHD diagnosis. Getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and long-winded.

They will be carefully tested and monitored to determine the most effective combination for you, taking into consideration any existing conditions you have.

The appointment will involve your doctor checking that you are on the right medication, noting any adverse effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you remain in a safe dosage. You will also be required to attend a routine health check which can include blood pressure readings, pulse and weight and an annual check-up.

Some people may be satisfied with their treatment and don't need to discuss their titration process further. If, however, they require further discussion about their titration and treatment plan it's possible that they will be passed back to the same private clinic that made their initial assessment. In this case the titration will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will then be administered via the private prescription. It could cost more than an NHS prescription because the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
