Any psychotropic agent that works on 5-HT2a receptor blockade has _anti-EPS_ properties (http://www.preskorn.com/cgi-bin/sp.pl?words=anti-EPS&wt=be&bl=an&IMAGE1.x=0&IMAGE1.y=0&d=/columns/9803.html). Such agents include amitriptyline, nefazodone, and mirtazapine. Dopamine agonists of course work against EPS, but you will find the only ones that are markedly antidepressant in nature are amantadine and pramipexole:
