Like Poet, I can relate to the dysthymia and negative feelings your having too. Infact the way you describe your suicidal thoughts sound so like mine it's scary. I've discussed it in the past with my T and my Pdoc and while both have asked about the thoughts, neither of them have really dwelled on it. or suggested I get any specific help for them. My pdoc thinks that once I'm feeling better in my mood the thoughts will disappear, although I have said that when I'm feeling OK I still get the thoughts.
I don't know about you, but in an ideal world I wouldn't have these thougths as often, they can be distracting sometimes, since they can come when I'm least expecting it or when I'm in a stressful situation (which isn't the best time to stop concentrating!) but I can understand how you don't want to change your medications in the middle of the semester; could you wait until a break? You can always say you'll discuss your meds with your pdoc, it doesn't mean you'll have to change them if they're suiting you, but a change might help if you feel they could do more for you.
