Actually, suicides are sometimes deterred by it's just being difficult when they want to end it. Packaging pills in those little punch out sheets rather than bottles can sometimes prevent a suicide. I wouldn't prevent a determined person of course.
Of course, they're not all in blister packs. I have a bottle of Doxylamine tablets that are all loose in the bottle. And I'm not sure if blister packs would be a good deterrent for suicide. I once saw a video of a guy's actual suicide (it's on Snopes). He took the time to screw the cap back onto his bottle of Evian before he blew his brains out. If a suicidal man can take the time out to do something that requires finer motor skills and doesn't contribute to the goal of ending his life, I see no reason why blister packs should be a deterrent.
