> I've been taking a small dose of seroquel at night (50 - 100 mg) for several months and have done pretty well / stable. But now with Spring, I have felt more prone to hypomania during the day.

If histamine is what causing you troubles indeed, you can try to stay at 50mg and add a pure anti-histamine med (that passes the blood-brain barrier) to see if this will work for you.
