After I started taking it at night several hours after eating, my doctor later reduced my prescription, which seemed to indicate to me that it was being absorbed better and I didn't need as much. Is this possible or should I go back to morning dosage and see what happens?
Is it okay to take Synthroid at bedtime on an empty stomach rather than in the morning?

I know this is a very long shot, as this question was posted 10 year ago. I am searching for the person who asked the question. I share your very unusual name and would like to know more about the origins of the name as you understand it.
I hope your medical questions have been answered and that you are in good health.

Yes, it's fine to take Synthroid at bedtime but on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before food or 2 hours after food)... and try to take it at the same time each day.
