[quote=Anonymous]Evidence (And first of all, these are all from the same NIH cohort study!):

More info in a q&a format:

This one shows that those in that study who stopped medication use deteriorated the most. Again, we are all talking about the same study as it was a cohort study led and followed by NIH (but many articles at various time points were published from it):

Another study for those concerned about growth on meds:
