Yes, Amiodarone is used to treat irregular heart beat, and has successfully helped many people, especially when other medications weren't effective.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, sun sensitivity, loss of appetite, and insomnia.

Ref: Medline Plus Amiodarone

Are you on any other medications?
