Jeroen, is your doctor tracking your progress at all with any AIMS levels? I know I've said this about three or four times, but you will not know if something has improved your TD if you don't take a simple 5 minute AIMS baseline and then measure it later when you've tried another medication to attempt to make changes to your TD.
There's nothing special about an AIMS exam, your doctor asks you to move certain muscles in your body and notes responses and he should be doing this.
Sorry you are not reacting well to Seroquel, it is second if not first in sedation to all neuroleptics with the possible exception that Clozaril can be even more sedating. Other than that effect, Seroquel's side effects are usually fairly mild in comparison in the EPS range, dependent on dose.
