press release 'presenting the data': "Now, this cutting-edge review clarifies the scientific evidence and should reassure all parties about the use, and discontinuation, of these treatments. Official guidance should now be changed to reflect the evidence."
They presented data from 8-12 week trials, concealed that in the paper (zero mention of length) and called for guidelines to be re-written in their press release for millions of long term users. That is not "just presenting data" Data here:

Very common story - delayed onset withdrawal effects often occur.
@markhoro I can't access the full paper. It says in the summary that this was looking at symptoms after 1 week off the medication. Is that correct? It seems like a massive limitation. The first week off the drugs for me was relatively mild compared to how I was a few months later.

When denial of the issue is no longer tenable they turn to minimisation and underplaying. See @ConversationUK article here: (31/n).
