A quick check of a drug interaction tool online shows no interactions between Seroquel and Clozapine. I'm still not sure what your reasoning is, though, to double up on antipsychotics if your psychosis is being treated adequately.
Are you maybe looking for a more effective anti-depressant? Maybe paroxetine is not the best choice for you, and another might be worth a try. Can you ask your doctor about that?
My advice is always to write down what sorts of symptoms are troubling you, and take that with you to your doctor. Saying something vague, like "I am depressed," might not be as helpful as saying something specific like, "I have no energy, and when I try to get myself motivated to do something, I often say 'oh, why bother' and lie down on the sofa." What I'm trying to say is that the more specific you can be with your symptoms, the more chance you can find an optimal solution.
Good luck
