Is it possible to rely solely on pharmacological treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder without behavioral therapy? What is its effectiveness, what are the recommended medications and their dosages, especially given the difficulty of accessing specialized doctors?
We ask Allah to heal you and protect you. We advise you to seek Allah's help and rely on Him, and to recite frequently the legal invocations for protection, such as Al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Chapters 113 and 114 of the Quran) and Ayatul-Kursi (Quran 2:255). The fatwa to which I was referred is available on the website under the same number. As long as you have found someone who answers your questions in detail regarding taking medication and its dosages, then act according to what he has indicated.
