Can my meds be pushing me over the edge or is it just in my head?

Hi Everyone
So again I'll say that I am a newbie to this, so please PLEASE excuse if I sound like an idiot on this forum.
I wanted to ask a question.
I have been on Fentanyl and roxy's for about a year combined (started off just on roxy's)
I am really starting to get nervous becuase I came off of the Fentanyl a few weeks ago but then started to feel extremely suicidal, to the point that I was scared to be alone.
I have a family memeber that committed suicide and was an alcoholic and another that is still with us but was a hard core drug addict.
I'm really scared that maybe these medications could make me go that way towards being sudicidal, I don't have an addictive personality (my doctor reassured me of that several times) but now I'm not so sure, I feel really down a lot and at times have thought of even just getting other stuff just to not deal with my life anymore.
I'm dealing with a chronic illiness that has really changed my life dramatically and I feel like suddenly I'm trying to find any escape of coping with it. And now I'm flat out scared that if I tell my doctor this they'll put me in a clinic.
I know that's not the problem and I'm seeing a Psychiatrist so I don't know what the problem is.
Is it just me or can these meds make you loopy?
Please be kind in your replies
thank you
Justin

hey justin,
I sent you a reply in the intro section,unfortunately i dont know much ab out your meds, but sounds like you a bit down and feeling low so a conversation with someome across the world might take your mind off things a bit...
Give your meds a chance to work,try keep busy ,hang out with friends or family if near by,and never be araid go let people know how you feeling..
The dark side is a great place in time of need.and you can almost bet u 'll find someone at BL to listen and talk
Sorry couldnt help u with info on meds,but im sure someone can shed some light on it for you.stay strong and chin up.nice to meet u,Gavin

Thank you Gavin, Yes I agree The Dark Side is a nice spot to talk to nice people, such as yourself.
I'll be sure to check my intro posting for your reply.

You've got a very similar thread over in BDD, I went ahead and closed that one, you'll probably get better responses in this discussion forum either way.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
