Tips on how to deal with husbands manic episodes due to medication

Been through a lot with my husband these past few years. He's always been a quiet, reserved man. Had a breakdown and psychosis, and is now medicated. Still trying to find the right combination.
He's doing well but his medication sometimes causes him to become manic for a few days when they increase the dose
He isn't able to recognise this himself until it had passed a few days later.
During this time he is wanting to buy expensive things, and for us to book expensive holidays and of course I have to say no.
He went into a decline with me last night because I said I didn't want to go to Australia. He was not happy with me at all. This is is mania talking tho as he is not like this.
Please can anyone advise how I best deal with this. At the moment try to point out to him it's his mania talking but it doesn't register with him at that moment.
