I do also have a past history of substance, I bet you can take a good guess at what exactly right?? I caved in with the codeine today as I just couldnt take any more of the anxiety. Im on and off with painkillers every few months or so but not as bad as I was in rehab for a few year back.
Do i really sound manic to you? im so confused as I dont know where my head is at the moment, Its like im experiencing a bit of everything

I'm not familiar with quetiapine but I can say that many mood-stabilizers / APs can lose their therapeutic effectiveness over time. Definitely stay away from self-medicating (especially with pain killers), it's a slippery slope that ends badly.
And yeah you sound really manic IMO. Impulsively driving 100 miles with no particular destination in mind with no money to get back home is not normal behavior (Feeling euphoric and screaming at the highway while driving is something I've done more than once while manic as well). Not to mention the explosive meltdown in front of your child and substance abuse.
I really think you should tread carefully and meet with a doctor as soon as possible
