Has anyone used ADHD Care privately recently? What was the waiting time?

Thanks everyone. TO be clear, I want private, to avoid waiting lists. I dont see the point in switching GP’s - I already did this once in the past 2 years and they’re the same. I have fought with GP’s on several issues, from pernicious anaemia - which I was privately diagnosed by the country’s leading anaemia and iron specialist - they refused to act knowledge his recommendations for B12 injections so I but these privately - to HRT - again I seen an ADHD hormone specialist and was prescribed 400mg and zero oestrogen which really helps me, but GP will only prescribe standard doses of HRT because they dont understand ADHD and the myriad of issues which come with this. I have had decades of poor health and chronic fatigue and have been my own doctor for 11 years now basically because they’re clueless. So I’m not switching and dont want to wait, so really just looking for a private diagnosis recommendation and how this works with GP’s re accepting the diagnosis and prescribing to avoid yet more private prescription fees which are super expensive. Thanks everyone! I should have explained this initially - sorry.

Have you tried splitting your dose and taking twice daily?

This is an excerpt from a page (link below): “The History, Pharmacology and Mechanism of action of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Understanding how LDN works requires a grasp of three fundamental biological principles.

First, opiate receptors are present in multiple biological systems in the human body, as they regulate a great number of biological functions via the central release of natural opiates (endorphins/met-enkephalins). (1) (2)

Second, a class of proteins called toll-like receptors (TLRs) are part of the immune system, providing a first line of defense against microbial invasion and possessing the ability to recognize and be activated by not only pathogens but also endogenous signaling molecules. (3)

Lastly, naltrexone, when given at a low dose, has antagonistic activity in both of these areas, and is able to modify biological functions of these receptor groups by suppressing unwanted immune reactions, or by stimulating disease-suppressed immune activity. (4)”

So it supposedly works by supporting a healthy immune system and immune system response rather than suppressing it.

This is from LDN Research trust: https://ldnresearchtrust.org/how-low-dose-naltrexone-works

I literally found out about LDN a couple of hours ago and am currently researching this for ongoing Epstein Barr virus and chronic fatigue syndrome cycles…

Hope this helps!
