Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
It’s common to experience sleep disturbances even after recovering from an illness like typhoid, especially if stress or anxiety is involved. I recommend seeking therapy alongside your prescribed medication. A combination of both therapy and medication can effectively address the underlying anxiety contributing to your sleep disturbances, facilitating a smoother recovery.
Meanwhile, do daily sleep hygiene practices: maintain a fixed sleep schedule, limit screen time before bed, avoid caffeine in the evening, and practice.

Did those medicines help, if so they need to be taken for a while as recommended by your psychiatrist and not to be abruptly stopped. Consult the psychiatrist again

Having anxiety and insomnia after physical illness is common. But if despite treatment you are improving then you need a comprehensive review.
