Effexor (venlafaxine) 225mg, propanolol 80mg, and hydroxyzine 50mg at night. is this an effective cocktail to treat depression/anxiety?

Cocktail?: All antidepressants are equally effective for different people. Effexor (venlafaxine) also has good anti-anxiety effects. To know whether a particular medication will be effective for you, will be a process of following your progress with your doctor. Psychiatrists are skilled at selecting medications for people, following progress, and adjusting as needed. Hoping you'll soon be feeling better!

No one solution: All of these may help but everyone is different. You need to consult a psychiatrist.
