> I know that I need to get a med bracelet now that I am on Nardil. What specifically does it need to say? I know there is a specific pain reliever that we are not supposed to get like if we are in an accident or something, but can't remember the name of it.

Hi Courtney,
Phillipa is right. The most dangerous emergency pain killer in combo with Nardil is meperidine(Demerol-brand name-US). Some other narcotic pain killers are fine with MAOIs. I have had no problem with straight codeine. It is when they start adding things like pseudoephedrine that codeine becomes a problem. In general, if a pain reliever affects serotonin like meperidine, it will be a problem with MAOIs.

As for your bracelet, I would suggest something like: "TAKING MAOI - NARDIL - NO MEPERIDINE"
Be Well,
Jedi
