You wrote, "Abilify caused outright akathisia."

The same thing happened to me. I found out what the very definition of akathisia was! Yuck!! And that was with my very first tiny dose. My pdoc at the time said, "Stop taking it and just take more Xanax until it wears off." It didn't wear off for a day. Since akathisia felt like terrible anxiety, and I already have a large anxiety component, I didn't want to try any more atypical antipsychotics. But years later I tried Seroquel because I read it had the lowest chance of akathisia. I don't think it's a miracle drug, but it sort of sedates me, and y'all know when you're having really bad anxiety you'll take even a little relief.
