I know because I too, have GAD (with Panic, yay!) and I also use THC recreationally and to help me sleep.
but I acknowledge that when my anxiety is high, thc is about the worst thing I can take, it just makes me spiral.
lorazepam is for my panic attacks but for a daily, i take raw, hemp derived CBDA oil 200mg 1x per day.
if I'm not in an active panic attack, i have to cut the lorazepam in half because WHHHHEEEEEEEEEE, so I understand how that Atarax might have hit you! But now you know and maybe you can adjust when you take it.
and you know, be gentle with yourself. we are not perfect beings, and we make mistakes. the important thing is NOT the mistake but how you handle the aftermath and how you propel yourself to a better spot.
