Titration or medication dose adjustment, ensures maximum treatment effects from your medication, with minimum side effects. You will need a course of visits with a GP to find the best medication and dose for your needs. To determine the most suitable medication and dosage for your needs, a series of appointments with a doctor will be required, as everyone responds differently to medication.
All medication is adjusted on an individual basis, taking your response to medication, side-effects, preferences, lifestyle and other health conditions into account.
Treatment Initiation
Your GP or psychiatrist will issue a 4-week medication prescription with instructions. This will happen at the end of the GP/Psychiatry visit.
You should have your blood pressure and pulse checked with each increase in dose of your medication. You could ask your pharmacy to do this, or you can buy a blood pressure monitor from your pharmacy. Please record your blood pressure and pulse readings and have them ready before your next visit.
Initial Medication Review Visit
- At these visits your doctor will assess your progress, address any questions and adjust your dose of medication. You will then have additional medication reviews to carry on titrating your medication.
Follow up Medication Review Visits
- At these visits your doctor will assess your progress, address any questions and adjust your dose of medication.
- Once optimal dosing is achieved, you will be discharged to your own GP, on a shared care agreement. We will issue a discharge letter, asking your GP to continue your prescription
- If at any stage you feel that you might need more than the usual 15 minutes for a standard medication review, we also offer an Extended Medication Review. It lasts 30 minutes and costs €200.
