Diagnosed With Depression, Burning Mouth Depression. Taking Thyroid Medicine With Multivitamin, Calcium And Aspirin. Suggest?

I have been diagnosed with severe depression.
I became a widow in January of this year.
My niece tells me I have been taking my thyroid medication incorrectly. I have been taking it right along with my multivitamin, fish oil, calcium and baby aspirin.
Just prior to this diagnosis I have been told my my doctor I have "burning mouth syndrome" Could this possibly be brought on because of my error in taking my medication.
I am SOOOO depressed I feel I am losing my mind.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Depression and burning mouth syndrome are not related to each other. You can take thyroid supplementation along with other medications. That will not lead to any significant interaction.
For depression you certainly need to take antidepressants along with thyroid supplements.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
