Sarah:
I've taken my doses on an empty stomach. The Nature's Way 5-HTP is enteric coated, so...I guess that would prevent any stomach upset anyway. I consider it like an amino acid, and I would take amino acids on an empty stomach too, so they wouldn't have to compete with other things. Doesn't seem to matter whether I take it on an empty stomach or with food though. Seems to have the same "mild" SSRI-like effect.
Hope that helps,
