Yeah, theres that theory that the drugs itself doesn't make you suicidal but that it gives you the energy to carry out your plans.
This doesn't make a whole lot of sence to me, and is in my opinion an attempt for the drug companies to again, put the blame back on the patient.
I say this becase, while I was depressed, I was never suicidal, thought never crossed my mind. Going on certain SSRI's lead to feelings of suicidiality (desparately searching my house for my dads gun etc)
In addition, there have been a few studies where healthy vaulenteers were given SSRI's and who reported feelings of being suicidal. Those studies are very controversial, of course.
