Titration

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

After your evaluation After your assessment, you will be informed whether medication is appropriate for your situation. This will be discussed at your follow-up appointment (which may be scheduled in person, by video link, or over the phone). Your clinician will explain what medication options are available and, if you choose to begin taking medication, we will recommend titrating dosage to ensure the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This is a process which can take several weeks and involves adjusting your child's medication gradually until the appropriate balance is reached. It is not unusual to need to adjust two or three medicines before determining the most effective one for your child's ADHD symptoms. It is essential that parents take part in the titration and be aware of their child's behavior so they can inform doctors whether the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

Annual exams are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Or you can wait two weeks to think about the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you.

If you're not sure which one you prefer, we suggest that you talk to your GP prior to scheduling your private assessment as some providers have different policies about whether they require a GP referral letter or not. Check if your GP accepts the Shared Care Agreement, which means you will be referred to them once you leave the clinic to get a medication prescription.

Medication

For many who wish to obtain a private diagnosis of ADHD treatment is an important element of their treatment. The process of getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be difficult and lengthy. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously long, and GPs may 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 select a provider that provides a private assessment service and titration. This can help you to save time and also be more convenient, particularly in the event of a hectic work schedule.

After you have been diagnosed, your doctor will assess you to determine if you need medication adjustment. You will be asked to fill out forms that vary by provider but the most important ones are self-report questionnaires and medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are circumstances that indicate you shouldn't be taking ADHD medications, when they've been prescribed.

If you are being titrated on medication, this will usually consist of stimulants and non-stimulant drugs. These will be carefully trialled and monitored to determine the best combination for you, taking into account any existing conditions you have. The titration procedure can be a lengthy process and may require a number of additional appointments before your dose is stable.

The frequency of your follow-up appointments is contingent on the type and quantity of medication that you are taking. They can be monthly or quarterly. This will include your physician making sure that you are taking the correct medication, noting any adverse effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you remain on a safe dosage. You are required to attend an annual review as well as a regular health check-up that includes pulse, blood pressure and weight measurements.

For some it could be because they are satisfied with their medication and don't require a further discussion about their titration. If you're required to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan further, it is possible that you'll be sent back to the private clinic who made your initial assessment. In this case, the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will then be given via the private prescription. This could cost more than prescriptions from the NHS since the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
