I'm Fine, but am I though? (new here)

So I'd say I only started dealing with my depression sometime last year, went through a very rough few months (I didn't try anything, if you get what I mean, but I was really close about 3 times). I've been on antidepressants for about 7 months now, nothing too strong (Lexamil, 10 mg). Now the issue comes in, I'd say I've been doing really well the last 2 months, but every once in a blue moon, say once every 2 weeks, I'd have this random flare of extremely suicidal thoughts for a few hours (to the point where I can't confidently say that I won't one day act on those thoughts). In general I'd say I'm pretty healthy, I have a good diet, I go to gym, I sleep approx. 8 hrs a night, I work full time and will be studying this year, so I have things to look forward to, and I have a few good friends. I will definitely take this up with my psych. sometime, was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or advice? More than happy to answer additional questions. Thanks for taking the time to read!
