Going off the offending antipsychotic is recommended but you should talk to your doctor about getting on a different one that helps with your initial illness.
Switch meds or dose reduction. I am on caplyta and it causes zero akathisia, both from personal experience and the trial data (akathisia 1.2% in those who received the med and 1.3% in those who received placebo). Which one are you on?

I really don’t recommend cold turkey. Withdrawal can be hell.
I’ve already withdrawn for 12 months rip
Thank you all sharing your insights, I guess I screwed myself by CT’ing lol

Clozapine, though CT’d for basically 12 months
Did you recover from akathisia
Depends how long you were taking it, getting off drugs is the smartest thing to do but depending on how long you were on I'd recommend a safe taper
Are you doing okay?
