I don't think 5HTP is going to do anything given the long list of meds you are currently taking. From personal experience, I would say that anxiety is the main driver of suicidal thoughts. Anything to escape the pain! Are you currently experiencing severe anxiety? I have found that antidepressants make me batshit crazy with anxiety, and that is why I am wondering if the culprit in your mix might be the Effexor. You would know best if your anxiety started with the Effexor. You have to think back. Zyprexa is widely recognized as the med that brings (most) people back from the brink of suicide as it helps people calm down and sleep. Seroquel also helps with sleep, but it made so sick all I wanted to do was jump off a cliff. Hang in there and try to put your finger on any med that made you worse. Also, get to the ER if you are starting to feel impulsive.
