I've heard that antidepressants in general can cause suicidal thoughts. With the tricyclics, that's why they'd often give really small prescriptions to start with (my doc only gave me 2 weeks doses at first) and sometimes either prescribed a sedating drug or use a TCA+sedative (Triavil, limbitrol,etc.) for treatment.
Sorry about your suicidal thoughts, Phillipa. Personally, I'd switch over to a higher dose of higher potency benzo(s) and taper at least one SSRI.
