Can Anti Depression Medications Be Used If Propafenone Is Replaced By A Pacemaker?

I use propafenone for heart arrhythmia, ( my heart feel like a fish is flopping around in my chest) but have been diagnosed with depression & prescribed clonazepam. I can no longer get prescriptions for clonazepam even though I am using it according to Dr directions. Could a pacemaker replace the propafenone & let me be able to use another anti depression med?
