Hi Peter.


Is this article posted on the Web?
If so, where can I find it?

In the context of your post, it appears that the word "symptoms" may be an important operator when discussing the usefulness of these two drugs monotherapeutically. I would really like to review the article, but I don't have access to a medical school library.

Thanks.
