Colonial political culture in the colonies also developed differently than that of the mother country. In both Britain and the colonies, land was the key to political participation, but because land was more easily obtained in the colonies, a higher proportion of male colonists participated in politics.
Ativan (lorazepam) is used for the management of anxiety disorders, the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety or anxiety associated with depression. Ativan is effective for insomnia and panic attacks, and is used in combination with other medications to prevent nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy.
The risk of abuse and dependence is greater for those taking higher Ativan doses for long periods of time (for longer than two to four weeks). Because Ativan can cause dependence, you should not abruptly stop taking the drug without first discussing it with your healthcare provider (see Ativan Withdrawal).
