To alleviate the waswasah (whispers of Shaytan), distance yourself from idleness by programming your time with activities that occupy your mind. Be diligent in associating with righteous women to seek knowledge and invite other women to Islam. If you are not married, consider marriage. Increase your recitation of the Quran and ponder its meanings. Be steadfast in performing adhkar (remembrances of Allah) and seeking refuge (with Allah). There is no sin upon you for discontinuing medication with negative side effects. Instead, use beneficial remedies such as Zamzam water and Ruqyah Shar'iyyah (Islamic incantations).
