You're definitely right that people have different experiences with medications. I've read about these different experiences so many times at places like Psych Central, and similar.

My current antipsychotic of choice is Seroquel XR. I like it more than regular Seroquel. It's a slightly different animal, I think, but closer to each other than they are to different antipsychotics. I have never developed akathisia from Seroquel or Seroquel XR. Other antipsychotics I didn't get akathisia from were: Risperdal, Invega, Navane, and Trilafon. However, I did get other negative side effects from those antipsychotics, plus I was never on those meds nearly as long as I have been on Seroquel XR. It's hard to know what else would have happened on them long-term.

I have not yet developed akathisia from Latuda. However, I have only ever been on a starter dose of 20 mg. Plus, I have only been on it for about six months.

I did develop akathisia very quickly on Abilify and Zyprexa. I developed akathisia on Geodon about 4 1/2 years in to taking it. Honestly, the akathisia I had from Geodon was the most torturous of them all. Horrible!

I have only taken the antipsychotics that I mentioned above. I've never developed akathisia from any other class of medications.
