It sounds like 1/2" was used instead of 5/8".
Hah I just did the same thing:

I think the options are to start over with thicker drywall or blend in the edges.
Don't worry about the tape, the difference should be marginal I think and will blend.
Matching the texture patterns will be tougher. Watch those videos. There is popcorn (get spray cans to shoot onto wet primer or pour pellets into the primer and apply), knock down (splat on and smooth but looks tricky without practice), and random star (applied with mud and a round brush).
