Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry to hear that.
Why was the Propranolol added? Sometimes this is used for anxiety, for stage fright, for performance anxiety, or to treat high blood pressure and heart disease.
If I know what it is meant to treat, I can give you my thoughts about its efficacy and possible alternatives if necessary.

Detailed Answer:
It may take time for these medications to kick in. To combat feelings of tearfulness and anxiety immediately, I recommend cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This is a type of psychotherapy that is highly effective for both anxiety and depression. You should seek out a CBT therapist in your area. If there is not one available, I do offer text-based CBT via my private link, which I will paste below.
