No matter what the incidence of akathisia might be, it is not possible to predict that side effect in any patient. It is thus impossible to prevent the side effect, unless the drug is simply not ever used at all. And any doctor and any patient who enter into a trial of any antipsychotic agent must be prepared for akathisia as a possible outcome. It's the nature of the treatment itself.
Moreover, the incidence of akathisia in antidepressant augmentation trials was never suppressed. It is fully and completely in the public domain.
Your evidence is also propaganda. Your pundits are the selective reporters.
