I don't know how well seroquel works for psychosis? I just know it helps anxiety and mood.
You need at least 300 mg of Seroquel for it to work as a full-fledged AP. Small doses are for sleep, high doses work against psychosis and mania.

I would not worry about being on more than one antipsychotic. This thinking that you cannot combine APs is going out of vogue. Whatever you need to stop this paranoia, take it.
