Hi,

Lorazepet least likely causes lymphadenopathy but Depakote may cause skin hypersensitivity and lymphadenopathy in a few patients. It is called valproate hypersensitivity.

You may apply moisturizer cream and antihistamine to control. If not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
