Thanks for commenting here, Lamdage. I haven't looked at the study data for Vraylar (cariprazine), but with akathisia being the first side effect of the medication mentioned in the press release and with it being perhaps more pharmacologically similar to Abilify (aripiprazole) than it is to other atypical antipsychotics, I would definitely understand why you (being someone who's prone to akathisia) might want to avoid this medication. Having said this, if you're really curious, you might want to look into what the incidence of akathisia was on Vraylar and see how it compares with that of Abilify and other antipsychotics.
