You can only add options when the help-file told you that
that is allowed (there are very few undocumented options,
and those that exist are undocumented for a good reason).
The help-files for -predict- are scattered as they depend
on what command preceded them. In your case, you need to
look at -help xtmepoisson postestimation- and than click
on the link to predict. I guess you are looking for the
-reffects- and/or -reses- options.

Hope this helps,
