Titration

It's not uncommon to to titrate up to three different medications before you find the one that best suits your child's adhd titration. It is essential that parents participate in the titration and be on the lookout for their child's behavior, so they can inform doctors whether the medication is helping or causing adverse effects.

If you decide to go back to NHS treatment you will receive a private prescription for your medication. You will have to pay for your prescription at the pharmacy. This is not included in the consultation fee. You must attend six-monthly appointments to check your medication. This includes pulse and blood pressure measurements. Annual reviews are also required.

Follow-up appointments

Once the evaluation has been completed, you'll be able to book follow-up appointments with your psychiatrist, if necessary. The appointment is usually done via zoom video call. However, in some instances, it could be possible to have an audio-only consultation to be scheduled (again with 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 discussion and review of your dosage of medication, as well as any side effects that you may be experiencing.

We recommend that if you are unsure of your preferences, talk with your GP prior to scheduling your private appointment. Some providers have different guidelines regarding whether or not they require an GP letter. We also advise to check if your GP accepts a "Shared-Care Agreement which means that once you are discharged from the clinic, you will be referred back to them for the prescription for the medication.

Medication

For many people who seek an official diagnosis of ADHD medication is a key element of their treatment. It can be difficult to get a prescription from a psychiatrist on the NHS. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs are often reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

One method to avoid 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 offers an assessment that is private and titration. This will help you save time and be more convenient, especially when you are on a tight work schedule.

After you have been recommended, your physician will examine you to determine if you require medication adjustment. You will need to complete forms that differ by provider but the most frequent ones are self-reporting questions and medical histories that go to your childhood and into adulthood. These will help your clinician identify any conditions that could indicate that you shouldn't be taking ADHD medications if they are prescribed.

If you are on a titration adhd meds medication, it is likely to be a combination of stimulants and non-stimulant medications. These will be carefully trialled and monitored to determine the most effective combination for you, taking into consideration any current conditions you suffer from. The titration can be lengthy and may require multiple appointments before the dose becomes stable.

Depending on the type of medication you're taking, follow-up appointments can be scheduled either monthly or quarterly. Your clinician will check that you are stable with the medication, record any side effects that you've experienced and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you remain on a dose that is safe. You'll also be required to attend a regular health check, which could include blood pressure and pulse readings, as well as weight and weight measurements as well as an annual review.

Some people may be satisfied with their treatment and therefore do not require discussing their titration in more detail. If you're required to discuss your titration or treatment plan more thoroughly it is likely that you will be referred back to the private clinic that performed your initial evaluation. In this scenario the titration will be included in the consultation fee. The medication will then be provided through an individual prescription. This could cost more than prescriptions from the NHS since the pharmacy will charge you for the medication.
