Private ADHD Titration

There is currently a national shortage of medication that helps to treat ADHD symptoms. This is due to manufacturing problems as well as an increased global demand.

Our service offers private ADHD treatment instead of waiting for NHS funding via Right to Choose. Our assessment fees cover the cost of a single prescription.

Titration

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

After your examination, you will be advised if medication is considered to be beneficial in your case.

This will include a review and discussion of your medication dosage, as well as any adverse effects you might be experiencing.

You can pick a provider that provides an assessment on your own and titration. This will help you to save time and also be more convenient, especially in the event of a hectic work schedule.

Some patients may be content with their treatment and don't need to discuss their titration adhd adults further.

If this occurs, the titration consultation will be included in the consultation fee, and they will be given their medication through an individual prescription (see Consultation fees above). This can cost more than an NHS prescription as the pharmacy will charge for the medication.
