Brief Answer:
Get investigated / change drug

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It may not be from Coversyl
See an Internist / Get yourself examined / Investigations – like renal function, electrolytes, hormones – may be necessary...
If there are no clues, consult a Neurologist
If not improved, psychological assessment and assistance may be of help

Still, give the benefit of doubt and change the drug.
There are several classes of drugs and several drugs in each class..
The drugs and dosage can be tailored to the individual.
Discuss with your doctor...

You are young and motivated / Prognosis is generally excellent in such situations…

Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
