Neuro-Affirming ADHD Medication Support

We know that every brain is unique, and ADHD is just one part of who you are. Our prescribers focus on your strengths, lifestyle, and goals when exploring medication options.

  • All treatment follows NICE guidelines and current best practices in ADHD care.
  • Our process is collaborative and trauma-informed – you are the expert in your own experience.
  • We provide the information, tools, and support you need to make empowered decisions about your health.

 

Starting ADHD Medication at Makewell

If you’re new to our prescribing service, here’s how it works:

  1. Provide your diagnostic report – we’ll need a copy of your ADHD assessment.
  2. Book an initial consultation – a 1-hour session with a prescriber, either onsite in Milton Keynes or online.
  3. Agree a treatment plan together – if medication is suitable, we can issue a private prescription.

Prescriptions can be filled at most UK pharmacies. If you’re local, you may be able to use our onsite pharmacy. For those further away, we can post prescriptions securely via recorded delivery.

 

Ongoing ADHD Medication Reviews & Titration

Finding the right medication and dosage is a journey – and we’re with you every step.

  • Direct access to your prescriber – email for questions, updates, or concerns.
  • First review – usually 4 weeks after starting, lasting 30 minutes (online or in person).
  • Titration process – adjusting type and dose until you find what works best. Most people need around 3 reviews to reach a stable plan.

 

Transitioning to Shared Care with the NHS

When your treatment is stable, we can write to your GP to request a Shared Care Agreement, so your prescriptions can be managed by the NHS.

  • Not all GPs accept shared care, so check early in your journey.
  • If shared care isn’t available, we can continue prescribing privately (£50 per prescription).

Even under NHS prescribing, specialist reviews remain essential:

  • Adults: annually
  • Children & young people: every 6 months

 

Safety Before Starting ADHD Medication

To make sure medication is safe for you, we’ll need:

  • A copy of your diagnostic report
  • Height, weight, and blood pressure readings (done at Makewell, your GP, local pharmacy, or at home)
  • Occasionally, an ECG may also be recommended before starting

 

Fees

  • £375 – 1-hour initial consultation & prescription (new ADHD patients at Makewell)
  • £295 – 45-minute first medication review & prescription (if diagnosed at Makewell)
  • £250 – 30-minute follow-up review & prescription
  • £50 – Private prescription outside of consultation

If your prescriber agrees your condition is stable before the third scheduled review, that session will automatically become your 6- or 12-month review. This is covered by your original payment (no refunds or credits are given).

Testimonial

“From about 8 years old, my daughter struggled with huge intense feelings. There have been some dark moments and the whole family have suffered. When we received her diagnosis for ADHD, we were relieved to have a new avenue of treatment and started to see a positive way to move forward. Unfortunately it wasn’t as straightforward as we thought and the emotional rollercoaster continued with raised hopes being dashed again. It wasn’t until we booked in at Makewell, the practitioner really took the time to connect all the dots and put the jigsaw pieces together. The practitioner listened carefully and gave thoughtful and considered suggestions. Within a surprisingly short period of time, we had our daughter back. After five years of heartbreak. The difference was night and day. We will forever be grateful.”
