peeling eyelids, excessive sneezing....is it allergies or?

My 17 yr old daughter is slowly coming off of zoloft for the past month and has been sneezing several times a day sometimes 10-12 times in a row. In the past week her eyelids are slightly swollen, skin is red on lids and around eyes, and is peeling and itchy. looks similar to a sunburn yet she has not been in the sun.
She does have allergies and they do seem worse than ever this year but I am wondering if this could also be a side effect from coming off of the zoloft?

She is currently on 50mg. Has been taking 10mg of laratadine for allergies and benadryl and ibuprofen to help with these "allergy" and pms symptoms.

Hello,

Looks like her allergy symptoms are worsening. Repeated sneezing could most probably be due to allergic rhinitis, which is usually triggered by an allergen. Her eye symptoms could also have resulted from allergens leading to blepharitis and dermatitis. You will need to consult her doctor for adequate antihistamine medications to control her symptoms. You can also consult an allergy specialist, who after doing some skin tests; will be able to specify some allergens. She can either avoid exposure to these allergens or desensitize against the same. Warm regards.
