I'm not saying don't help her seek help if she WANTS it...This is just from my experiance...Statistically, most people that TELL someone they're suicidal, only want attention (if they actually were, they prob would've just gone ahead and done it without warning).
There's no doubt that often when someone is being vocal about their suicidal thoughts that they are indeed attention seeking, but that doesn't mean they aren't serious about it. More often than not, they are reaching out and the attention is vital. From what I've scanned through and read, she's obviously depressed and someone off of their anti-depressants can do stupid things. She needs to seek help if she's mentally crashing.

I'm sorry, but telling someone NOT to seek mental help is really dangerous. Personally, I'd feel uncomfortable about giving any advice in this situation but to seek help. I wouldn't want to be the one (say 1500 miles away) that my non-professional advice indirectly caused them to commit suicide, leaving their child, girlfriend and loved ones behind.

IMO, call into a hotline, talk to someone in a hospital, speak to a church, call family, etc. Do whatever you have to do to make sure she gets the help, if she needs it.
