Hi Mrs D...

Again, you have answered the question about why my daughter had a runny nose, it has to be the cymbalta...But the benedryl has helped.

She takes 3 teaspoons of the liquid benedryl. The liquid works better than the pills.

Runny nose is a sympathetic symptom, and enhanced sympathetic tone will cause it. Drugs like Cymbalta, and Effexor, and opiates are well known triggers.
