The reason they say it's contraindicated in those with eating disorders is that their body mass is so low that the rise to peak concentrations of the drug in the body could cause a seizure. (I'm pretty sure, anyway)
The best thing you can do is to tell your friend about this fact. Presumably she won't want to have a seizure. Best wishes for your friend's health, BTW: every time I hear about or see someone with an eating disorder I get slightly teary (and I'm on two "big-gun" mood boosters, haha). It's just such a horrible misunderstanding about life that those people have, you just want to tell them that everything is really FINE, you know?
