It probably has more to do with the dose change than the amount taken. The gut is controlled by its own mini brain, the enteric nervous system (ENS) which can be as affected by psychiatric meds as the one between our ears, as can be gut microbes (which have the same binding sites (receptors) targetted by psych meds as brain neurones do) and that seem to have considerable influence on the ENS and through it on the brain itself. They will all adapt soon enough. In the meantime the usual remedies for the symptoms should help.
