Can I take my thyroid meds before bedtime with my cholestoral meds and other meds such as prozac, melatonin, and birth control pill?

if you plan on trying this evening dosage - you shouldn't mix it with the other meds.

If you being hypo is the result of an autoimmune disease.  I'd stay away from melatonin, it just makes things worse.

I don't know about specific interactions here, but the rule of thumb is to take thyroid meds first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.  You should not eat or drink anything but water for a half to one hour after taking meds.  You should not take any other meds or supplements with your thyroid meds or for 3-4 hours after.
