Ivan, You are probably referring to Ativan (lorazepam) It is a benzodiazepine similar to valium and Xanax. It can be used for tremor caused by anxiety but also can increase confusion in older people. I don't know the drug as you wrote it but its a good bet it is a drug in that family Charlie . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ivan M Suzman" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 1:51 AM Subject: "Pretavan" for tremor? > ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) > Ivan Suzman 50/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) > Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 40 deg.
