That’s where we can help, by partnering with your:

  • NHS service

ADHD medication

How it works

After a positive diagnosis, if you choose to try medication, you will have frequent reviews with a team of expert ADHD nurses who will look at your specific care and prescribing needs.

Treatment reviews

Everyone's treatment is bespoke but typically our specialist nurses will review your medication monthly until you are at the right dose of medication to control your symptoms, with the fewest side effects.

Treatment planning session

You will receive an appointment via email for an online planning session where we discuss the different options for medication, along with the non-medication options. We will then agree a treatment plan together once you have understood the choices and information.

Stimulants

Methylphenidate and Dexamfetamine work for a range of different durations, depending on your requirements. Your specialist nurse will explore with you which of these may be better suited to you. Advice on how to take your medications will also be given to you.

Non-stimulants

Atomoxetine should be taken every day for it to work, but it has the advantage of not wearing off.

Shared care

We work directly with you and your GP and ask your GP to continue to prescribe your medication.

If your GP does not offer shared care, you can continue with us on a self-pay arrangement.

Once your medication is optimised we will continue to offer medication reviews as necessary in accordance with NICE guidelines.
