ADHD medication titration and ongoing monitoring
Starting ADHD medication is only the first step. Titration is the process of gradually adjusting your medication to find the lowest effective dose that provides optimal symptom control while keeping side effects to a minimum. This careful approach helps ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
Medication stabilisation usually takes around three months, although the duration can vary depending on how you respond. Throughout the titration period, Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin monitors your progress with regular follow-up appointments, reviewing your symptoms and checking your weight, pulse, and blood pressure. If needed, your medication or dosage can be adjusted to achieve the optimal possible results.
Adult ADHD medication options
Medication can be an effective part of adult ADHD treatment when it is clinically appropriate and tailored to your individual needs. Following a confirmed diagnosis, Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin will discuss the available treatment options and recommend the medication most suited to your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Several evidence-based medications are available for adult ADHD. Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse) and methylphenidate are the most commonly prescribed stimulant medications, helping to improve attention, concentration, and impulse control.
Dexamfetamine may be recommended in certain situations, while atomoxetine (Strattera) is a non-stimulant option for patients who are unable to take stimulant medication or for whom it is considered more appropriate. Like all prescription medicines, ADHD medications can cause side effects, although these vary from person to person. Common side effects may include reduced appetite, headaches, sleep disturbance, mood changes, dizziness, nausea, stomach discomfort, and small increases in blood pressure or heart rate. During your consultation at IamPsychiatry, Dr Iqbal will explain the benefits, possible side effects, and any potential risks, helping you make an informed decision about your treatment.
ADHD medication titration: finding the right dose
ADHD treatment is a personalised process, as every individual responds differently to medication. Throughout your treatment, you'll have the opportunity to discuss how your symptoms are changing, any side effects you're experiencing, and whether your current medication is meeting your needs. At IamPsychiatry, keeping a record of your symptoms between appointments can also help guide treatment decisions. Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin also assesses and treats a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and addiction.
The aim is to develop a treatment plan that supports your everyday life and improves focus, organisation, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. By working closely with you throughout the process, Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin ensures your treatment remains responsive to your progress and continues to support your long-term mental health goals.
