Sorry...
I didn't read your post closely enough. I hadn't seen that you were talking only about low dosages of Seroquel.
The literature, as you can see, does support the idea that most of the effect of low dosages of Seroquel is antihistaminic.
I don't know for sure how much antihistaminic activity contributes to the anti-manic or anti-depressant properties. My guess is that you are experiencing a rebound histaminic activation for having discontinued Seroquel. Activation is not mania, although mania can be activating. You would probably feel a "speeded up" and insomniac effect without manic effect when discontinuing chronic low-dose Seroquel.
Essentially, your observations and deductions are accurate.
