I can't find my old post about using high doses of Vit B6 to ameliorate EPS. I wanted to update that this has been working surprisingly well for me since last fall.

So let me start a new post and link to this 2018 article:

Effect of Vitamin B6 Versus Propranolol on Antipsychotic-Induced Akathisia: A pilot Comparative Double-blind Study - PMC

And this is especially important for those of us who either organically tend to low blood pressure or have AP-induced orthostatic hypotension and thus are prevented from using Propranalol.
