Titration is a process used to find the right dosage of a medication. Because it takes trial and error, you need to be aware of, and communicate, your symptom relief and side effects.
Rare, more serious side effects include heart problems, psychotic or manic symptoms, seizures, eyesight changes, or circulation problems.
Some side effects improve with time, so it’s important not to change the dose too quickly. Everyone gets headaches, or isn’t hungry occasionally. Taking time between dosage adjustments lets patients assess if that weird feeling is really a result of medication, or just a poor night’s sleep.When titrating medication, patients should create a list of symptoms they would like to see alleviated.
Patients should keep a symptom diary that tracks each daily dose of medication, and how it makes them feel. It should note if:No or inadequate symptom improvement may mean the dose is too low. The response rate to either methylphenidates or amphetamines is only about 70%. That means that about one in three of people will not experience benefits from either medication. If there is no response to the first medication tried, the other medication should be tried.
