There is currently a nationwide shortage of medication to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due both to manufacturing issues and an increased global demand.

Titration

A comprehensive assessment of your ADHD symptoms will be carried out by an experienced consultant Psychiatrist. This includes a complete medical history, and an assessment using the common ADHD questionnaires and rating scales.

After your evaluation, you will be informed if medication would be beneficial for your particular situation. This will happen during your follow-up appointment (which can be scheduled in person by video link, in person or by phone). Your doctor will go over the various options for medications available. If you decide to begin medication, we will offer you the opportunity to increase your dosage to ensure the best balance of benefits and side effects for you.

Annual reviews are also mandatory.

Follow-up appointments

Once the evaluation has been completed, you'll be able to make follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist as appropriate. The appointment is typically conducted through a zoom video call. However, in some circumstances, it might be possible to have an audio-only consultation to be conducted (again with an additional cost).

In this session, we'll discuss treatment options and agree upon a bespoke individualised ADHD medication titration strategy. This will include an assessment of your medication dose and a discussion around any negative side effects you may be experiencing.

Certain providers have different policies on whether they require a GP letter. Check if your GP accepts a Shared Care Agreement, which means you will be referred to them once you leave the clinic to get a prescription medication.

Medication

Requesting your GP to refer through Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry - UK and ADHD 360). This means that you can choose an organization that offers a private assessment and titration adhd meds. This can reduce your wait time considerably and can be more convenient if you're working and have a full schedule.

The combination will be carefully tested and monitored to find the most suitable combination for you, taking into account any medical conditions you may have. The titration process may be long and could require a few extra appointments before you're able to stay on your dosage.

Depending on the type of medication you're taking, follow-up appointments will be either monthly or quarterly. The appointment will involve your doctor checking to see if you are on the right medication, noting any adverse effects you've experienced, and making any necessary adjustments to ensure you are on a safe dosage. You'll also have to undergo a regular health check, which could include blood pressure, pulse and weight readings as well as an annual review.

For some it could be that they are content with their medication and don't require any further discussion on their titration process adhd.
