It is akathisia. It is usually more prevalent on Abilify and Rexulti, but I had it on Seroquel and to a lesser extent on higher doses of Zyprexa, but did not have it on Abilify.
What helped me was taking either Gabapentin or Atarax. Both of them have benign side effects profile and are basically harmless medications, so I would try them. Both also help with sleep, which is always welcome.
Do however heed Still Crazy's warning about long-term effects.
