day - doctor said it wasn't from the meds - wouldn't that be the obvious answer?

maybe,...but probably not from the medications possibly from something in conjunction with the ingested meds.

It could be. Unfortunately, doctors don't always know the full info on the drugs they prescribe. It would probably be much more helpful to call the pharmacist that filled your husband's scrip, as they have both specific drug knowledge and a very comprehensive database. Meds are what they do!
Hives can be caused by many things, from stress to cold to allergic reactions, but lorazepam and its ingredients seem suspect here.
Good luck sorting it out, I hope this helps.

I don't see why he couldn't be allergic to the medication...I'm allergic to Aspirin. People CAN be allergic to medications other than antibiotics.
After my allergic reaction...I continued to have hives on and off for a month and a half. I was taking Benedryl, Prednisone, and Corticosteroids. It just took along time to get out of my system.

Yes it would be.
When I ran a quick search on the lorezepam just now, I found that lactose is one of the ingredients in it. And that is a known allergen.
Either talk to the doctor again, or find a new one that won't brush your concerns off.
Good luck.
