How many different meds and classes of meds has she tried? Even I, a Nardil taker, would not suggest trying an MAOI until a few other types of meds have been tried. She's really young and MAOIs can have a lot of side effects. The diet restrictions aren't as strict as the labels say, but I have had hypertensive issues myself with certain foods/ingredients (thankfully bp went down by itself) and I am careful. If the doctor refuses outright to prescribe MAOIs to anyone, that is poor medical education, pharma brainwashing, and borderline malpractice. But there might be good reasons to hold off on prescribing to a 14 y.o....I hope she gets better!
