I'm so sorry. How awful for you. I can't offer any specific suggestions. I never quite reached the point of making an attempt although I spent an awful lot of my life obsessing about it. The ideation did get easier to live with over time as I learned to view it as something separate from myself. I do believe that medications can have unexpected effects in some people and that could be what happened to your son. But I also found that my despair would get worse after a med change that did not do anything once I realized that this was not going to be the cure. This got worse each time it happened.
I hope your son continues to make a good physical recovery and that you find some answers.

PS. It took a long time but my life did get better - at first only a little bit more manageable but finally much better. I hope your son gets to the same place even faster than I did.
