Maybe a different antioxidant? There's lots to choose from....stabilized R-alpha lipoic acid, high-dose vitamin c, lecithin, melatonin, green tea extracts....
talk to a doc. Vitamin E therapy shouldn't have bad side effects for most people, but maybe something is going on with you...or maybe you should try adding in more antioxidants.

Jeroen, there's only so many times I can say that you have to do these things with your doctor. I'm concerned about these forays because you'll never know what is actually working.
If god forbid, I ever converted to TD from Seroquel EPS (TD is on a sliding scale from EPS indeed, although not a perfect science by any means), my doctor would do a baseline AIMS exam and then monitor progress on whatever strategy we chose, like Vitamin E, or Tetrabenazine (a bit of a last resort), and then do another AIMS to see if anything actually worked.
Throwing random OTC substances and expecting to see a sign without being monitored is setting yourself for disappointment and also danger, because you're not using them at levels that you and your doctor agree with.
This is the end of the thread.
