Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effect of Amiodarone. Nausea is listed as a side effect which could affect your appetite. I think that these symptoms will go away on its own in time. If not you should consider getting an alternative medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
