Apparently it was Neurontin - also known as fentanol (not “fentanyl”, which is a different drug). Some quick on-line research turned up a number of reports of suicidal thoughts and behavior associated with it.

“Apparently it was Neurontin - also known as fentanol (not “fentanyl”, which is a different drug).”

Neurontin is brand name gabapentin.

It is a neurotransmitter which can be taken orally for neuropathy.

Typically used for diabetes induced nerve damage, and also used to suppress seizures in epileptics.

It is NOT a pain medicine per se.
