> I cannot tolerate meds that cause inner restlessness. What would be the best anti-psychotic and the med dosage that is least likely to produce eps. thanks

All of them can cause EPS. Clozapin is supposed to be the safest anti-psychotic as far as not causing movement disorders like EPS. However even with clozapine there is some potential for EPS. Zyprexa is pretty safe. But again, no anti-psychotic carries with it 0% chance of developing EPS. All of them can, even the modern atypical antipsychotics.
Clozapine is your best bet though, if you really want to avoid EPS.
