There was a drug that was typically prescribed for epilepsy, but some people were taking it for depression. They had to take it off the market a couple of years ago because people that were on it were committing suicide. Does andyone remember the name of this drug? It was in capsule form....

none of the above, all the drugs people have mentioned thus far are still on the market and still used.

There are two drugs removed from the market that fill your description. One is Neurontin, the other is Serzone. take your pick

Also, for a time Prozac was taken off the market, but it is back now that it is better understood, and prescribed appropriately.

Not sure if it is the same one but I used to take Seroxat (paroxetine), and that was taken off the market because it had proven links to increased suicide and self harming

Serezone...I believe Neurotin is still used in cases of severe drug resisant depression. I have several Clients who are on it.
