  I'm not sure what you mean. If you are saying that there are studies 
that indicate taking medications does no good, I haven't seen them. 
There are a few who spontaneously remit (have only one or two episodes) 
and others that never respond to much of anything that is thrown at 
them. But all of the studies show that most other than these outliers do 
much better on pretty much all of the parameters (increasing 
socialization, decrease or elimination of hallucinations and delusions, 
ability to hold jobs, etc) if they stay on their med. If you have 
somethingn specific to the contrary, I'd like to see the article.
