OK so I looked at the harrow study again it's not quite as bad as I remembered...the follow up every 2.5 years until they hit ten years then it's every 5 years but they only ask about hallucinations in the year of the follow up study so there is data missing. Overall by year 20 33% of people with sz had no hallucinations at each of the previous follow up points which means they are following the same people in this one study of 51 people with sz but they could still be missing intermittent relapses not at the study years. So it actually looks better than I thought somewhere around half of people were off meds at this point. So if you want to know where these people are, well they are all in Chicago or they were at the study initiation they were treated at UIC which is the same place I was treated...they are very cutting edge there so some of this could actually be better care... but numbers around 25% are pretty consistent However these studies are pretty small size in general.
