I’ve been experiencing pretty annoying levels of nausea recently – [...] I’m wondering if it’s at all related to the drug cocktail I’m on.
Yes, very likely. Nausea is often a symptom of you-body-goes-through-some-change-that-your-brain-can't-keep-up-with-and-that-leads-to-nausea. I guess it will pass once your transition is complete and your mind has adopted to the new body configuration.
You can look at it like hardware/software. The hardware changes, but the software is still the same. So the software doesn't keep up with the hardware, and that leads to minor bugs and inconveniences. Sensory data gets reported in a skewed way, and all that leads to nausea, which is a generic way of your brain telling you "i don't know wtf is going on".
