HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Finasteride can be associated with nausea and vomiting, this can also occur with minoxidil though it is uncommon.

In some instances the effects of medication do not occur as soon as the medication is started.

You would also need to determine if there are any other causes of early morning nausea and vomiting such as reflux.
Reflux may be associated with additional symptoms such as bloating, discomfort in the chest, regurgitation of food.

You can consider a trial of reflux meds to see if it helps.

I hope this helps
