If your depression stems from past drug abuse, that could be a chemical imbalance in the brain. If that's the case, PTPA might be helpful too, when you have the chance to try it.

It is horrible and can beat you down, and has always been a constant battle with me also, so I understand what you feel. The great part, is that you don’t do the drugs anymore, good for you! But this missing something, nagging feeling that never seems to go away can cause depression. I know you said you went to the doctors but did you go to a psychologist? They can’t prescribe any meds, so you don’t have to worry about that and maybe just being able to talk about things will help you.Smoking is hard to do also. Problem with smoking it is every where. Mind you Its getting fazed out in the UK now tho. No smoking in a indoor public place and the tobacco counters at shops are covered up so not to advertise them I gave up some years back after the drugs. It feels good not top be a smoker but the extra weight I put on is not nice
I’ve never used release the negativity from within, (although I'm starting to think maybe I should) but it makes sense that using that along with a positive sub would help you release some old stuck beliefs of why you started doing the drugs in the first place. And then of course help you move on to better beliefs.
I did hypnotherapy and the lady I was seeing was a psychologist as well. We talked a lot but didn't help things at all. Reason being I find it hard to connect with a stranger face to face. So that made both the hypnotherapy and talking useless.
