I have been researching nasal symptoms and autonomic dysfunction. Turns out there is a thing called non-allergic rhinitis. Basically it's allergy symptoms with no allergy. One of the suspected causes is autonomic dysfunction. This could be an inherent dysautonomia or it could be a withdrawal induced autonomic dysfunction or drug-induced autonomic dysfunction could do it as well. I noticed that after I started Seroquel my allergies got much worse. Seroquel is a powerful antihistamine so it didn't make a lot of sense. However if the Seroquel was creating an autonomic imbalance it could create the condition of non allergic rhinitis. Here are a couple of links to the national library of medicine discussing this.

See the topic below on NAC. Make sure you read through it carefully. 

NAC can help with mucus and phlegm symptoms. I use it sometimes and it works well for me. 

However please note also that some members have reported possible bad reactions.

There's no guarantee. 

And remember, only one change at a time (just replied to you in the magnesium thread).

2017(?)-2020 - vyvanse/lisdexamfetamine 60-70mg    2020-2021 - 70mg down to 0mg  -->  July 2021 - 0mg

It’s a severe adverse reaction. But I’m trying to figure out what is making it so I can’t walk or stand for long. 

it just may be an hypersensitive and fatigued nervous system. sometimes all we can do is accept that we dont know, and trust that the body is trying to heal all the time.

 yes.. in my experience I have found that non allergic rhinitis, IBS and leg paresthesia are manifestations of the autonomic nervous system as it adapts to its environment and balances circulation/blood flow/pressure.  Almost all the time, when the gut is moving well, I am symptom free, and when it is not, I have symptoms in my sinuses and legs until the gut resolves itself.
