How long do manic episodes typically last? I feel elevated and GREAT but I don't know if I am just feeling better or if I am going nowhere fast because of my new meds and weaning off of meds right now.

How can I be certain it's an actual episode? I've only had one that landed me in the hospital for 17 days after I "lost" a whole week.

Thoughts?
