I didn't know for what reason you were making the list, I just wanted to bring up a couple treatment options that it seemed like you had omitted which seem especially promising. Since your list includes antidepressants, including Ritanserin, I figured it should be mentioned that analogues like mianserin and mirtazapine should be mentioned. I am fascinated by the 5ht2 receptors, esp. 5ht2c.
My understanding is that tardive akathisia is caused by d2 antagonism, so i think you are definately right on to be wary of antipsychotics -- they are more the cause than the cure.
Talipexole, a dopamine autoreceptor agonist, is another one to look into. http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/200203/000020020301A0813733.php
