I’d say first step is to get your lithium level checked.

Have you had a lithium level check yet? Often times when mine is low or high my body reacts differently

First of all you have to take it with food especially on a high dose. Second of all nausea and vomiting can be a sign of lithium toxicity so ask to have your lithium levels checked. See about getting a lower dose if the food doesn’t help or your levels are too high and if it continues after that than try a different mood stabilizer.

Do you take your lithium with food? Sometimes that can help with the nausea. But you could also talk to your doctor about it because I don’t think chronic nausea and vomiting is an improvement with your quality of life. Meds should help Improve your quality of life.
