This 'suicide pill' is a myth. The moon-astronauts (e.g. Buzz Aldrin) have been asked on several occasions and denied its existence.

I remember an interview with Aldrin where he was asked how he would have spent his last moments in case he got stranded on the moon, and he answered he'd be trying to get the engine working :)
