I have not experienced this myself because I haven't had a full blown manic episode, but from what I have read this can happen. A person with bipolar can still experience symptoms even when on medication. I still do and have been on medication since I was diagnosed in 2007. My symptoms aren't as severe as they were prior to being diagnosed, but I definitely still experience them.

It's a difficult disease for those diagnosed; their family, friends and significant others. The book in my signature is written for spouses, family members of those diagnosed. It's excellent and may help you. Please remember to take care of yourself and reach out to your support network.
