Will gradual increases in dosages of reactine (zyrtec) eventually cause rebound congestion? thanks.

No : Rebound nasal congestion is most commonly seen with topical nasal decongestants such as oxymetazoline as found in afrin nasaly spray. Antihistamines are not associated with rebound symptoms including congestion.
