I have a persistent runny nose made worse by activity. Been going on for over 6 months and does not seem to be related to any allergies. I take 3 medications - quetiapine (antipsychotic), fluoxetine (Prozac) and ranitidine (antacid/acid production blocker because of the effects of quetiapine).
What's going on?

I have not tried medication to stop this because I'm not aware of, I guess, what would be congestant. This problem is not related to local pollen production or any particular weather, also I live in a rural location and the air is very clean.

...Be a congestant...
Yes, but the anti histamine might still help and they are very benignI would try zyrtec or allegra firstsee if that helps
