ADHD Medication

If you receive a diagnosis of ADHD and medication is deemed to be clinically appropriate for you, your specialist clinician may recommend treatments to help manage your symptoms.

At The Owl, we deliver a specialist ADHD medication care service grounded in clinical best practice, focused on identifying the most appropriate treatment option through careful assessment, titration, and structured monitoring. Our ADHD medication service is available to individuals diagnosed within our clinic, as well as to those who have undergone assessment elsewhere, provided their diagnostic report meets established national clinical standards.

Titration

At The Owl, we start the ADHD medication process with an initial medication consultation to ensure that treatment is safe, suitable, and appropriate for your individual needs.

What happens in titration:
Titration is the structured process of adjusting the type, dose, and timing of medication to achieve the most effective results with the fewest side effects. Because ADHD medications affect each person differently, titration ensures a personalised and balanced treatment plan. Throughout the medication titration you are assigned with an ADHD specialist clinician who you will see at each review.

How ADHD Medication Works

ADHD medications act on key neurotransmitters in the brain — primarily dopamine and norepinephrine—which play central roles in attention, motivation, and self-regulation. The two types of ADHD medication:

Stimulant medications increase dopamine levels, helping to improve concentration and reduce impulsivity.
Non-stimulant medications regulate norepinephrine activity, enhancing cognitive function. These are often suitable for individuals who do not tolerate stimulants well or who have cardiovascular considerations.

Why titration is important

Maximises effectiveness while minimising side effects
Personalises treatment to your specific needs
Reduces the risk of under- or over-medication
Helps prevent adverse effects such as sleep disruption or cardiovascular symptoms

Once you are stable on medication, we will request a shared care agreement in partnership with your GP who will continue to monitor and support your wider wellbeing. – We cant guarantee this as many are declining shared care.

During the titration period The Owl retains full responsibility for medication initiation and dose adjustments. When the patient has reached a stable dose, we will write to your GP and confirm that the patient has reached a stable and effective dose and request shared care from your GP.

If their previous assessment does not meet our internal standards, we will be unable to proceed with medication initiation.

Medication review

Please note that changes to medication will require a new treatment package. In accordance with NICE Guidelines and our shared care agreements, children under the age of 10 years old will require quarterly reviews (every 3 months). Children between the ages of 10-18 will require reviews every 6 months.
