that is not a completely different situation. excusing someones behavior because they treat them well other times? you speak of "respect", well it goes both ways

sorry, i don't agree w/ that AT ALL. that's almost like telling an abused spouse: it's OK your husband abuses you - he treats you really well other times! a guy should give his girl the same amount of respect/consideration he gives his friends. since he doesn't really know these new friends yet, he's probably being overly conscious about how he presents himself to them. he doesn't want to be seen as a "wimp" or whatever. in any case though, i still don't think that's enough reason for him to act like that since you have already told him how it's been affecting you.

its been a while since i've taken any psychopharmacology classes so im just gonna cut and paste http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-q01.html Warnings Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS): Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome is a potentially fatal symptom complex that has been reported in association with antipsychotic drugs, including quetiapine. The clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and evidence of autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and cardiac dysrhythmia). Additional signs may include elevated creatine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis) and acute renal failure. In arriving at a diagnosis, it is important to identify cases where the clinical presentation includes both serious medical illness (e.g., pneumonia, systemic infection, etc.) and untreated or inadequately treated extrapyramidal signs and symptoms. Other important considerations in the differential diagnosis include central anticholinergic toxicity, heat stroke, drug fever and primary central nervous system pathology. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of antipsychotic drugs, including quetiapine, and other drugs not essential to concurrent therapy; intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring; and treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems for which specific treatments are available. There is no general agreement about specific pharmacological treatment regimens for uncomplicated NMS. If a patient requires antipsychotic drug treatment after recovery from NMS, the potential reintroduction of drug therapy should be carefully considered. The patient should be carefully monitored since recurrences of NMS have been reported. Tardive Dyskinesia (TD): A syndrome of potentially irreversible, involuntary, dyskinetic movements may develop in patients treated with antipsychotic drugs. Although the prevalence of the syndrome appears to be highest among the elderly, especially elderly women, it is impossible to rely upon estimates to predict which patients are likely to develop the syndrome. It has been hypothesized that agents with a lower EPS liability may also have a lower liability to produce TD. In controlled clinical trials with quetiapine, the incidence of EPS was not statistically significantly different than placebo across the recommended therapeutic dose range. This may predict that quetiapine has less potential than standard antipsychotic agents to induce TD. The risk of developing TD and the likelihood that it will become irreversible are believed to increase as the duration of treatment and the total cumulative dose of antipsychotic drugs administered to the patient increase. However, the syndrome can develop, although much less commonly, after relatively brief treatment periods at low doses. There is no known treatment for established cases of TD, although the syndrome many remit, partially or completely, if antipsychotic treatment is withdrawn. Antipsychotic treatment itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs and symptoms of the syndrome and thereby may possibly mask the underlying process. The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the longterm course of the syndrome is unknown. Given these considerations, quetiapine should be prescribed in a manner that is most likely to minimize the occurrence of TD. Chronic antipsychotic treatment should generally be reserved for patients who appear to suffer from a chronic illness that is known to respond to antipsychotic drugs, and for whom alternative, equally effective, but potentially less harmful treatments are not available or appropriate. In patients who do require chronic treatment, the smallest dose and the shortest duration of treatment producing a satisfactory clinical response should be sought. The need for continued treatment should be reassessed periodically. If signs and symptoms of TD appear in a patient on quetiapine, drug discontinuation should be considered. However some patients may require treatment with quetiapine despite the presence of the syndrome. so basically... when you take an antipsychotic youre also taking the risk of developing parkinson-like symptoms. i would think twice about eating those pills unless your idea of fun is twitching uncontrollably and losing your voluntary motor functioning.
