Well, do you think that all of the drugs you're taking are helping at least somewhat?
> is there a drug for people who are obsessively suicidal?
A lot of people with that problem seem to be helped by low doses of atypical antipsychotics such as Zyprexa (2.5-5 mg seems typical).
Do you feel like any of the medicines you're taking now have *worsened* the suicidal obsessions? If so, reducing or eliminating those, if you can, would be helpful.

I wouldn't go with hanging -- it takes a long time and is probably very painful.
I hope you feel better soon!
