I'll try a few suggestions...
Remind him that they used to be just as widely prescribed as SSRIs, before those darn things came along.
Take as much printed SOLID data with you as poss, old & new. You probably already plan to do that anyway, but make sure its totally relevant to your symptoms/diagnosis.
Explain that Nardil is where YOUR faith lies (with meds) at the moment & that you're fed up with trying all these newer meds which dont work or last. Remind him of its solid background for TRD, etc. Maybe add that you should have been given a trial YEARS ago.
Say you know all the risks & know the diet like the back of your hand! As well as all the med interactions. Show him the list - probably best to actually show him an outdated list which will include many foods that are actually ok. Otherwise he might disagree with the list.
Dont take no for an answer.(?)
I'll try & think of some more. What is your diagnosis by the way?
