Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
active ingredients used in Lysol includes,Ethanol/SD Alcohol 1–3%, Isopropyl alcohol, 1–2%. Hence they are responsible for vomiting and loose motions, however there is no need to worry as they are not life threatening but toxic to an extent, since there are no associated neurological symptoms, you might have consumed less quantity as well.
Since there is severe gastric irritation as a result of mucosal damage, you are having above said symptoms.
Hence I advice you to take proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole 40mg for 10 days along with soft diet avoiding spices, non vegetarian and alcoholic beverage consumption.
However, i strongly recommend you to visit a psychitrist and have therepy session to share and discuss your issues.

I hope this helps you
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Regards
Dr Naveen
