I'm not really sure. I don't think so since I know R. takes something daily.
I "think" the way it all works is there is a cumulative effect. So, you don't just get a shot or take a pill and you are stabilized. I believe it takes months of a regimen before you get to a good spot.
My wife has had a few conversations with R. about his experience. I don't think she's really ever talked to him about it since he's sort of a weird guy to begin with and they aren't super close.
But he said that most of the times he was manic there was a certain awareness that he was indeed manic. But he says its such a high in itself that you don't really want to come down.
However, he definitely went of the rails to a point where I doubt he was very self aware. Same with D. When I saw her the lights weren't on at all.
