I would think a wallet card would be sufficient. At least don't waste money on jewelry until you've been on the med long enough to know if it's going to work for you. Frankly, I never used anything for any of my 4 unsuccessful MAOI trials.

Everywhere should keep in mind, also, that you don't have to be on a MAOI to have a bad serotonin syndrome reaction. I read in another forum about a woman who had a very bad serotonin syndrome reaction from a combination of Prozac and opiate pain killers prescribed after surgery. The reaction was not diagnosed correctly in the ER and she was considered to be a "drug seeker" and treated horribly. And she was conscious and able to tell them all the meds she was on, so, unfortunately a card or bracelet is no guarantee of safety. Cecilia
