It's good to hear from you, even if the news isn't all good. I sympathize with your desire not to be hospitalized, but obviously acting on suicidal thoughts is FAR worse than inpatient status! (Indeed, that's likely where you'd end up anyway, so why not cut out the "middleman?") Do what it takes to stay safe - we (your family and Babbleland, just for starters) need you!

How long has it been with Prozac? Probably close to long enough to have "kicked in" if it is ever going to. Like Daisy, I wasn't fond of my straight SSRI trial (I took Paxil rather than Prozac, and felt it mostly made me more apathetic) and am also currently on a Cymbalta/Wellbutrin mix. So I agree that it may be time to push for a different drug.
