You should be honest about it, but also be careful to make clear whether or not you are truly actively suicidal. Also be careful not to freak people out if you are not truly suicidal. Only talk about it if you really feel like you will do it. Because otherwise it leads to overreaction.
Also, if you tell your psychiatrist you are actively suicidal, have a plan, etc. that means an automatic trip to the psychiatric hospital. Not a fun place to be. Be careful.
Usually meds take away those suicidal feelings if they are very strong.
