Two likely things: You would feel very parched and dry, and you would be very sleepy and groggy. At best, it is not a good idea, and at worst, it is a potentially dangerous idea to take double doses of any medication - even the over-the-counter ones.

What if you double dose Wellbutrin 350mg?
Why would you double dose? 700mg would be a large dose! If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember then take the next dose at the normal time. Unless you are already close to the next time you should take it. Then just wait. I would never double dose a medication. Talk to your doctor if it is not working for you.

I believe Cetirizine IS an antihistamine. And it would take a pretty large amount to overdose.

How many milligrams of antihistamine can a person take at one time?
Antihistamine is a class of drugs rather than a specific drug. If you are referring to Benadryl, the most common antihistamine, the maximum dose is 25mg to 50mg three to four times a day, with a daily maximum of 300 mg. However, this is just the general guide; it varies from patient to patient. You should consult a qualified physician with any medication questions.
