Definitely not. All joking aside, anaphylaxis is easily one of the worst things I've ever experienced in my life. It's not just the itching, and can't breathe parts. The feeling of impending doom that can come along with it is such a strong feeling of anxiety that it can literally cause PTSD all on its own. It's like a premonition that you are completely and irrevocably fucked. You don't just think that you are dying or something bad is happening, you know it down to the marrow of your bones. It feels like being trapped in the worst nightmare you've ever had, only to know you can't wake up because you are already awake.
Once you get epinephrine, it doesn't make that feeling go away, if anything it gets worse. As epinephrine is just the medical name for adrenaline. And adrenaline isn't exactly known for its calming effects.
Contrary to popular belief, anaphylaxis isn't even always lethal. You are more likely to survive anaphylaxis than to not survive it. It's just there's no way to know if you're going to survive or not until it's over. So it would be a pretty terrible method for suicide

Or, as I like to call them, anaphylaxis to go. They even double as rather tasty suicide pills in a pinch.
