What newer antipsychotic has low weight gain/low risk of akathisia

Im sure there’s gotta be one drug that’s low risk in akathisia and weight gain

Maybe Fanapt and/or Saphris? I don’t know much about either.

Easy , Seroquel.

Its weight neutral for a lot of people.

The new AP - Rexulti (Brexpiprazole) is supposed to have considerably less Akathisia rates than Abilify.

Saphris is known for causing Restless leg syndrome - Kind of Akathisia for the bottom half of your body.

Unfortunately the newer drugs that are weight friendly cause Akathisia, like Latuda, Abilify, Geodon etc…
