I am in no way agreeing with the OP, but I do think you misread what they wrote: >> discontinuation after long-term usage is associated with higher relapse rates [0,1,2] To paraphrase, those who stop taking experience higher relapse rates than those who continue to take, which is also what you cited: >> those with continued treatment showed much lower relapse rates
