Best bet might be to try another antipsychotic if you think you need one. The one least likely (though not guaranteed) to cause akathisia and stuff is seroquel. Talk about calming.
Zyprexa might be an option too. For the first 4 years I took it it was amazingly calming and tame, but now in the 6th year I find I have had to reduce the dose because higher doses seem too activating and make me very nervous, kind of like the way you describe.
If you want an amazingly calming antipsychotic with the least risk of weird stuff, seroquel.
