What Causes Severe Vomiting After Taking Miralax?

I am taking my miralaz prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow morning. A couple of hours after drinking the first bottle, I started vomiting. Is this normal. I was told to drink the first Gatorade mixture at 4 pm along with two Dulcolax tablets which I did. I was told to take the 2nd bottle of Gatoraide at midnight. What should I do ?
