Have you tried benzodiazepines? Anti-anxiety agents have worked better in the past for suicidal ideation than antidepressants did.
I have also found that any antidepressant with noradrenergic activity can >increase< suicidality. This would includes the SNRIs (Effexor, Cymbalta, Milnacipran), NARI (reboxetine, atomoxetine), and other drugs with strong NE activity (e.g., Seroquel). This has just been my own individual experience.
