Abilify acts as a mixed agonist antagonist. Supposedly it predominantly activates presynaptic autoreceptors which would slow dopamine firing. Abilify can cause TD, but I'm not sure about how the rate compares with other antipsychotics.
Technically speaking, Vyvanse / Dexedrine are dopamine agonists, but they are not associated with TD.
I think that TD is more related to dopamine receptor upregulation (as seen with traditional antipsychotics).
