> To be honest, I don't think I could wear a medical bracelet. I have social anxiety and explaining this to friends and strangers would probably be too much for me. I wish they would make them smaller, something less out there.

I'd have to be more responsible with alcohol though.Make yourself a card that you keep with your drivers license so the emergency people will find it when they try to find out who you are. You can print on it something like "I am taking Nardil (phenelzine) a MAO inhibitor which can cause a potentialy lethal hypertensive crisis if medicines such as epinephrine and Demerol are administered. Then give your pdoc and GP's name and telephone. For some people like me who seem to be swiching meds all the time this looks far more economical than a med alert bracelet.
