Hello

Avapro contains irbesartan.It is an anti-hypertensive.Though it may be hepatotoxic in some patients but usually it doesn't cause high liver enzymes.
Nexium contains esomeprazole and it is not expected to cause hepatotoxicity.
Endep is also not expected to cause shaking sensation in body.
You may have had elevated liver enzymes like ALT,AST.
Increased ALT and AST may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,viral markers,lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.

You may need to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

Get well soon.
Take Care
