Doc pretty clearly seems to be saying the pt is taking "Pravacin" for nightmares. This is a psych eval and I've been doing psych for years but haven't heard of this one. Any ideas?

I hate to even offer this suggestion since you say he is speaking clearly, but I found this: link


Some medications that have been studied for treatment of PTSD-related nightmares and may be effective in reducing nightmares include Topiramate, Prazosin, Nefazodone, Trazodone, and Gabapentin.

General Google search shows all these: link

I do psych reports quite often, and prazosin (generic) is used for nightmares in patients with PTSD.
