At the exact same time my tingling and numbness jumped up 90% and was nearly constant.
So either the anxiety or the withdrawal of lorazepam has dramatically increased my symptoms.
I have had anxiety issues my whole life and it can be very powerful and cause severe paresthesia.

Anxiety has been a part of my life for years and I've had many unexplained physical symptoms but now with this neuropathy showing up I wonder if there's an underlying undiagnosed etiology.
I will say coming off benzos will create rebound anxiety. Try to do lots of cardio if possible to burn off the excess adrenaline.
