Private ADHD Titration
There is currently a national shortage of medications to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due both to manufacturing problems as well as an increased global demand.
Our service is able to offer private ADHD treatment as an alternative to waiting for NHS funding through Right to Choose. Our assessments cost include the cost of one prescription.
Titration
A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by a highly experienced consultant psychiatrist. This will include a medical history and an assessment using the typical ADHD rating scales and questionnaires.
Following your assessment you will be advised that medication may be beneficial for your situation. This will take place at your follow up appointment (which could be in person, via video link or by telephone). Your clinician will discuss the different options for medication available. If you decide to start medication, we will offer you the option of titrating your dose to maximize the benefits/side effects balance for you.
This is a process which can take several weeks. It involves adjusting your child's medication slowly until the right balance is reached. It is not uncommon to to titrate as high as three different medications until you discover the one that best suits your child's ADHD. It is essential for parents to be involved in this titration process, and keep an watchful eye on their child's behavior to inform the doctor if the medicine is helping or causing adverse effects.
If you decide to return to NHS treatment, your medication will be given as a private prescription which you'll have to pay for at the pharmacy (this is not included in your consultation fees). You must attend every six months to check your medication - this includes pulse and blood pressure readings. Annual exams are also required.
Follow-up appointments
After the evaluation is completed after the assessment is completed, you can make follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist. Usually the appointment will take place on zoom video call, although in certain cases it is possible to have an audio-only consultation (again at an additional cost).
At this point, we will discuss treatment options and decide on a custom-made ADHD medication titration plan. This will include a review of your medication dosage and a discussion around any side effects you might be experiencing. The cost for these titration consultations is PS150 for face to face sessions and PS60 for online or telephone video consultations. The pharmacy will be charged for any medication costs.
The psychiatrist will also ask you about your family background and the impact your ADHD symptoms can have on your life, including any issues with your relationships that you may be facing or any other mental health problems that you might be experiencing. ADHD can be a hereditary condition, and it's vital to assess your family history in order to determine if you're at a higher chance of developing this condition.
It is essential to be honest and transparent with your doctor during the assessment, since the information they get will be used to determine if your ADHD fits the diagnostic criteria. This is a crucial step, as an incorrect diagnosis could result in an inappropriate prescription of medication.
If you decide to seek treatment for ADHD, we'll arrange an appointment for a follow-up visit with a psychiatrist who is specialized in this field. If you want to start treatment immediately you can start treatment immediately following the diagnosis. You can also take two weeks to consider the implications of the diagnosis and the options available to you.
If you are unsure of what your preference is it is recommended that you speak to your GP prior to scheduling your private assessment as some providers have different policies about whether they require the submission of a GP referral letter or not. We also advise to check if your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement which means that once discharged from the clinic you will be sent back to them to get the prescription for medication.
Medication
For many who wish to obtain an official diagnosis of ADHD medication is an important element of their treatment. Finding an appointment with an NHS psychiatrist can be a hassle and time-consuming. NHS waiting lists can be notoriously 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). This means that you can select one that provides an assessment and titration service. This can reduce your wait time considerably and can be more convenient when you are working and have a hectic schedule.
If you are referred through this route, your chosen clinician will examine you and decide whether or not you need to be monitored for a dose of medication. You will be asked to fill in forms that differ by doctor but the main ones are self-report questionnaires as well as medical histories from childhood to adulthood. These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are any circumstances that indicate you shouldn't take ADHD medication, even when they've been prescribed.
If you are being titrated the medication will consist of stimulants and nonstimulant medications. They will be tested and monitored to find the right combination for you. The titration process can be long and could require a few extra appointments before you're stable on your dosage.
The frequency of your follow-up appointments will depend 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 on the right medication, recording any side effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you're in a safe dosage. You are required to attend an annual review and a routine health exam that includes blood pressure, pulse, and weight measurements.
For some it could be because they are satisfied with their medication and don't require an additional discussion regarding their titration. If you're looking to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan in more detail, it is possible that you'll be sent to the private clinic that performed your initial evaluation. In this instance, the titration period adhd will be included in the consultation cost. The medication will then be provided through a private prescription. This can cost more than an NHS prescription as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
