When Is The Best Time To Take Amiodarone In A Day While On Metroprolol?

I take Amiodarone 200 mg and metoprolol tartrate 50 mg twice a day every 12 hours... should I take the Amiodarone in the morning or night? Does Amiodarone cause insomia or tiredness? It seemed when I tried Amiodarone in the morning with the metoprolol and Spironolactone 25 mg I was very tired so I changed it..I tried Amiodarone in the evening with my second dose of metoprolol and metormin 500 mg and Xarelto 20 mg. ...then I couldn t sleep til early in the morning... Thanks Micki 72 years
