I don't deny the possibility that certain drugs can have adverse effects in people, potentially causing symptoms that are unpleasant and perhaps would INFLUENCE a person to increase in suicidal thoughts, but this is VERY DIFFERENT from CAUSATION. It's not like taking this drug forces you to lose control over your ability to choose. I stand by what I said, no drug can CAUSE you to choose suicide. It is your decision in the end.
Hopestheory, different antidepressants work better for different people. For many, many people, antidepressants change their life drastically for the better. Now that you are aware that there are some risks of possible problems in your symptoms and possible increase in suicidal thoughts, you can keep a close eye on yourself as you determine which, if any, antidepressants will work for you.
I personally do not take antidepressants, but I believe that there are some people who need them. That's between you and your therapist to work out. And your T should be keeping an eye on your symptomology as you work through this and decide if and which medication is for you
Just know that no drug is going to force you to die of suicide.
Best of luck to you!
