Hello & welcome
As you have already under went CABGs & after you have VT which has to be treated aggressively because it can be life threatening. Definitely metoprolol and amiodarone will help but some time you may need for ICD (Intra cardiac defibrillator). In my view you can discontinue clonozepam after consultation your cardiologist.
Thanx for your query
Wish you healthy heart
