The AAPs don't usually cause akathesia, especially at low doses. But anything is possible. Also akathesia isn't usually permanent, even on the old APs. I got it on perphenizine, 24mg. Went away when I stopped the perphenazine. For me, it manifested as a deep restlessness where I could barely sit still and, when forced to sit still, kept tapping my feet, shifting my legs, feeling like I have to get out of here.
When I got akathesia from perphenazine, I was in a partial hospitalization program and the p-doc told me to take benadryl. It helped immediately.
