Hi. I take zyrtec and effexor and the same exact thing happens to me when I forget to take my pills in the morning. By late afternoon I am sick to my stomach and dizzy. About one hour after I take my pills I feel better. I had always assumed it was the effexor, then today I stopped taking the zyrtec and I am feeling the same lousy way! I think I am going to try and ride it out.

I have tried to stop Zyrtec ( a generic kind) for several months now. Once I get to the third day I'm a mess with dizziness, nausea, headache and general fatigue. I am also taking Cymbalta and Wellbutrin. THe mixture of the meds seems to be very bad for me. Good luck to you and if you figure anything out post it here!
