It's good that you're aware enough to watch for signs of spinning out of control, in case the current feeling is a precursor to hypomania. I would also wonder about that immediate response to meds. Are you typically that sensitive?
I seem to always feel the effect of meds right away. I don't know if it's a mental placebo feeling or if they really work that fast, but it has been this way forever whenever I start a new med.
