I doubt it was suicide. We read that passage in class and it seemed obvious it wasn't. I wouldn't have even considered suicide if i hadn't seen everyones hands in class. EVERYONE thinks its suicide, but the evidence just doesn't add up.
1) the drug itself wasn't completely understood. Doctors, chemists and patients all experienced different affects on the same dosages.
2) she had just seen evidence that her life could easily turn out pretty good. (the baby scene).
3) she wants to fall asleep, not fall asleep forever. no where in her falling asleep is their substantial evidence that she wanted her sleep to be permanent.
4) she was finally free of debt. She didn't have any more weights over head. she was actually free.
in short, she didn't commit suicide, it was an accident.

You bring up good points, but I still think she wouldn't accidentally kill herself. Throughout the book she always takes charge of the situation at hand and now, at such a moment, I don't think she would have just lost control. I think she just finally realized a guaranteed way out of such a demanding society altogether, death.
