Latuda lacks the ability to stimulate dopamine receptors (D2/3 partial agonist), so it should be less apt to the produce akathisia. I haven't seen it for myself, but Latuda is supposed to act as an adjunct to more traditional antidepressants. Unlike Abilify, Latuda acts as an antagonist of 5-HT7 receptors, a property that is thought to be beneficial in depression. Like Abilify, Latuda has been granted the indication of being an augmenter of antidepressants.
