I know this is a very late reply and I am grave digging this topic but what?? Do you mean you are suicidal on the medication? I am confused because why would they refuse to give you meds if you have a record of suicidal attempts.

because there is a risk of OD on them? If @mist lives alone then he is a great risk. Sometimes though a Psychiatric nurse will come out and give them to you if they are really needed.
 
I am simply praying and keeping fitness simply to stay away from over-thinking especially when I've undergone torrid time. I don't always seek medication from a med, I prefer self medication through exercise therapy and taking of herbal.
 
Until two years ago, I was taking 10 mg Amlodipine everyday. However, I managed to overcome hypertension through alternative medication.
