Lorazepam withdrawal: Tactile hallucinations (not "hulucinations") are common in withdrawal from benzodiazepines such as lorazepam. I've never seen them after a single 2mg dose. If this dose was given in an attempt to taper from ongoing benzo use, though, it may mean the person was using a much higher dose -- and the 2mg dose did not cover withdrawal symptoms. Tactile hallucinations ; other symptoms could result.
