HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Saphris is a atypical antipsychotic and at 5mg, chances of getting akathesia is very less. If you are feeling it, better to stop it and with time this effect would go. If not, then you can consult your psychiatrist to start trihexyphenidyl to counter this effect.
Thanks
