Brief Answer:
unlikely to be related

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Lorazepam is a very unlikely cause of tingling numbness or peripheral neuropathy. We have many patients on long term lorazepam but I can't remember anybody having this.

Let's wait till the appointment. I feel that we have to look for another cause here.

Hope this helps.
Regards
