Titration

A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be conducted by a highly experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This includes a thorough medical history and an evaluation using the typical ADHD questionnaires and rating scales.

After your evaluation, you will be advised whether medication may be beneficial in your particular situation. This will happen during your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person, via video link or by phone). Your clinician will explain the various options for medication and, if you decide to start on medication we will offer to titrate the dose to maximize the balance of benefits and side effects for you.

This process could take several weeks, and involves gradually adjusting your child’s medication until the appropriate balance has been achieved. It's not uncommon to need to titrate two or three medicines before finding the best one for your child's ADHD symptoms.

Follow-up appointments

Once the assessment has been completed, you'll be able to book appointment with the psychiatrist as necessary. The appointment will usually be conducted through a zoom video call.

The psychiatrist will ask you questions regarding your family history and the effects of your ADHD symptoms on your life, and any mental health issues you might be suffering from. This is due to the fact that ADHD can be an inheritable condition, and it is essential to look into any family history that might indicate that you're at risk of developing the disorder.

Medication

For many people who seek a private diagnosis of ADHD medication is a key aspect of their journey. Finding an appointment with an NHS psychiatrist can be difficult and lengthy. NHS waiting lists can be extremely long, and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

These forms will allow your doctor to determine if there are any reasons that suggest you shouldn't take ADHD medication, even when they've been prescribed.

If you are being titrated the medication will be a combination stimulants and nonstimulant medications. These will be thoroughly tested and monitored to find the right combination for you. The process of titration can be lengthy and may need several additional appointments before you're able to stay 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 scheduled for monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor checking to see if you are stable on the medication, logging any side effects you have had and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that you're in a safe dosage. You'll also have to attend a routine health check which can include blood pressure, pulse and weight readings and an annual review.

For some, it may be that they are satisfied with their medication and don't need an additional discussion regarding their titration.

In this instance, the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will be administered via a private prescription.
