Anyone else experience digestion issues/nausea?

I began taking the medication in March at 5 mg twice a day and only had some busy feeling the first week then after a month I started getting the dizzy feeling again sometimes with my morning dose, but not the afternoon. The last couple weeks I have increased it to 7.5 twice a day due to feeling some more anxiety symptoms yesterday I took my medication the usual time in the morning and had just to breakfast sausages plus coffee. I went to work and felt a little queasy and drank some ginger tea. Just assuming maybe it was because I only had coffee and something that is more fatty. I felt fine after the tea and going to the bathroom and even felt hungry for lunch so I had some blackberries then I went to go pick up my lunch, which was a wrap. I was really excited to get back to the office so I can eat because of how hungry I felt. Maybe I ate too fast, but after eating I continuously got waves of nausea. I tried drinking some peppermint tea to relieve it, but it just felt so overpowering along with smelling the food that other people were warming up in the office making it worse so I went home and finished the day from there. I felt fine at home but all evening I didn’t have any hunger feelings. I still ate dinner because, at this point, I’m definitely under 1,000 calories for the day. I had a small salad, salmon and sweet potato. I didn’t feel nauseous again, but I just didn’t feel anything at all. I slept through the night and in the morning (today) can feel the warm feeling of hunger but not the actual hunger cue. I took my medication I didn’t get to have breakfast because I needed to take my dog to the vet and now just don’t have any feeling of hunger.

Other things, I was having small burps throughout the day and some pain in my upper abdomen kind of below/in between the ribs which I know can be gas pain.

Anyone else suddenly develop this after multiple months on it? I’m thinking maybe to bring it back down to 5mg to see if I get my hunger back?

Also starting in the med, the first month I’d sometimes notice heartburn after certain meals. But it slowly subsided.
