Can Xanax Cause Tingling Sensation On Left Arm And Fingers?

I have anxiety and have been on Xanax about 5 years now. I was started on anti-depressants about 6 months ago. For 2 months now I have been getting a tingling/numbing sensation in my left arm all the way to my fingers. My hands have done this before due to my anxiety, but not my entire arm and only the left arm. It is happening every day several times daily and I now becoming very worried.

tingling is very unlikely with Xanax. any spinal or diabetic problem needs to be ruled out first. My advice would be an lost MRI spine and BSL investigations. let me know the results.
