I was really distrubed by your post, so I looked something up:
Drug Interaction Tool | University of Maryland Medical Center
I don't know what beta blocker you take, so I only checked 2, but they both had medium interactions with zoloft, but if you smoke, the interaction was severe and potentially dangerous.
Removing the smoking but adding Trazadone, the interaction is labeled as severe, and this only between Trazodone and Zoloft-it won't evaluate all 3 together.

PROPRANOLOL - Propranolol (Injection)
TRAZODONE HYDROCHLORIDE - Trazodone (By mouth)
ZOLOFT - Sertraline (By mouth)
High Interaction Potential
Drug-to-Drug
TRAZODONE HYDROCHLORIDE (TRAZODONE HYDROCHLORIDE) and ZOLOFT (SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE)
Taking sertraline together with trazodone may increase the risk of adverse effects, including problems with your blood pressure, body temperature, muscles, and thinking. Using sertraline together with trazodone is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If you are using both medicines together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines. It is important to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all other medicines that you are using. Call your doctor if you feel weak, have a rapid or fast heart beat, feel unusually restless, have a fever, or have trouble moving your arms and legs. Do not stop using your medicines without talking to your doctor first.
Those interaction tools are not necessarily followed to the T, but it's a good way to see if your doctor knows what he is doing and to keep yourself safe.
Beta blockers can also cause Hyponatremia and hyperkalaemia, some of which may mimic anxiety symptoms, and hyperkalaemia can wake you up at night with cardiac event and and metabolic acidosis causing heart palpitations.

And here are nutrients depleted by beta blockers:

Depletions
Coenzyme Q10
A deficiency of the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 may be associated with chronic conditions including heart disease and high blood pressure. Symptoms of deficiency include muscle weakness and pain, gingivitis, and weakened immune function.
Melatonin
Reduced levels of melatonin in the body have been associated with sleep disturbances and jet lag. Some clinicians report wide-ranging symptoms associated with melatonin deficiency, including problems with hormonal function and fertility. Other problems may include immunological and blood clotting issues.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Symptoms of depleted levels of thiamine include weakness, fatigue, anorexia, constipation, memory loss, confusion, and depression. Deficiency may lead to beriberi, a condition characterized by inflammation of nerves, heart irregularities, and fluid retention.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency leads to abnormal bone formation (rickets) in children and softening of the bones (osteomalacia) in adults. Vitamin D deficiency interferes with calcium absorption, leading to increased risk of fractures, osteoporosis (bone loss), and muscle weakness. More recently, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to compromised immunity, cancer, and other chronic conditions. Since this nutrient is fat soluble, prolonged periods of deficiency are required to produce these symptoms.
