> Ok i am on neurontin, effexor xr. I was on paxil and zoloft but those didnt work. I still have suicidal ideations and they arent going away. They are very extreme suicidal thoughts that i act on and are never successful (mainly because i fear pain). I need a med that works. I still get sad and cry but its not all the time, so somethings is working but i still want to kill myself. I go to therapy all the time. I still want to die. That hasnt gone away. I tried to hang myself twice in the last week and a half alone. I am so behind on my hw and i need to do it for graduating, I know i am not doing it because i think i will succeed in killing myself before graduation. sometimes i think i am too stupid to do it or i am too scared of the pain. Tell me of medications that get rid of suicidal ideations please!!!!!

If you are in that serious of a situation, I think it might be time to consider ECT. It works quickly, and would provide you some relief from the danger of imminent suicide. If you are as suicidal as you say you are, you need intervention soon. Maybe you should be in a hospital for awhile?
At the very least try some of the suggestions TSA West has mentioned. The only worry I'd have about Lamotrigine is that you sound like you need help quickly, and it often takes awhile to ramp up on that drug.
