The heightened anxiety might be being driven by the hrt and may settle down, but as doxepin isn't really an antidepressant and may have an uncertain future now might be a good time to switch to another TCA such as amitriptyline, or imipramine.
Once stabilized on an effective AD please talk to your GP about weaning off the lorazepam if you're taking it regularly as benzodiazepines block the mechanism by which AD work.
