It sounds to me like an extension of withdrawal. That's a powerful med and your system is trying to adjust to the absence of the wide variety of things the med was doing. Your symptoms are common with SSRI withdrawal, but maybe even worse in your case because of the antihistamine withdrawal and other stuff too. I felt like that when I weaned off Paxil. Happened a couple other times too. For me the time period it took for things to adjust and clear up ranged from 2 weeks to 6-8 weeks.
Low dose or not, 4 weeks or not, doesn't matter. That is plenty of time and enough of a dose to set up a bizarre withdrawal period. It usually happens the worst when a med is weaned too quickly.
I think everything will be fine.
