Hi James.Perhaps finding neuroleptics that are regionally specific would help. I read that Abilify did not accumulate in the striatum. This is an observation that is thought to explain the relative lack of dyskinetic and dystonic side effects. Akathisia is something different, though, and I don't know very much about its etiology.
