I too take my generic Synthroid as soon as the 50 pound dog on the bed next to me has decided she (at any rate) has had enough sleep and awakens me. This is typically before 7 a.m. I then wait half an hour or so before eating or drinking anything else as per the instructions on the bottle.
Last blood test my doc said my TSH levels were too high so he told me to double the Synth from 25 mcg to 50. I'll be rechecking blood next week so we'll see if that does the trick. I'll ask him about the time of day issue then too.
On a side note, when I asked my GI doc what I should put in my stomach first thing in the morning here was his answer: "Anything but coffee".
