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.

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. 1 Chronic IBS since 1990 Former smoker (1992- Jun 2017) Prescribed mirtazapine for sleep in Aug 2017 after IBS flare-up following Nicotine cessation.
