WHY THIS MATTERS

Getting a diagnosis is only half the story

In Ireland, only a Consultant Psychiatrist can initiate a new prescription for stimulant medication. Your GP cannot prescribe Ritalin, Vyvanse, or Concerta for the first time  they can only continue a prescription a psychiatrist has already started.

If you were diagnosed by a psychologist, you may be holding a valid report with no clear route to medication. At Vera, our Consultant Psychiatrist can review your existing diagnosis and initiate a prescription without requiring you to start from scratch.
