Yes medications have caused peripheral Neuropathy.

I got my peripheral neuropathy from Dilantin (known generically as either phenytoin, hydantoin, Diphenylhydantoin,or DPH), an epilepsy drug. Dilantin, oddly enough, is also used to treat some cases of peripheral neuropathy.

Often, if the offending drug is ceased or decreased the peripheral neuropathy goes away.
