medication discontinuation / discontinuation of medication

Explanation:

Sugestão.

Me parece que "withdrawal" é algo mais brusco, não-programado. "Discontinuation" serve para todos os casos, tanto a parada programada, a não-programada e a síndrome que acomete o paciente.
Já "withdrawal" parece se aplicar mais à síndrome, mais à retirada brusca (que não parece ser o caso em tela).

(is being) taken off his/her medication

Explanation:
This is the idiomatic way of saying it in US English. There may be a more formal way which perhaps our colleagues who work in the medical field would care to contribute here.

My son Nicholas was **taken off** Adderall XR due to the side effect of tachycardia. He also lost 20 percent of his body weight falling well below the first percentile in weight at age 8

After speaking with his pediatrician the boy was actually **taken off** his medication. Instead, we began a comprehensive behavior program, along with accommodations, He did very well in a much smaller setting along with the individualized help that he needed.

withdrawal from the medication

Explanation:
Note: The patient is in the course of planned withdrawal from the medication.
The medication is for treatment of attention deficit disorder, and withdrawal from the medication should be gradual.
(You might think that "medication withdrawal" per se would be idiomatic in English, but it is not.)

(I do not think that "discontinuation" is idiomatic in the case of gradual withdrawal, either.)

Prescribing arrangements for the use of methylphenidate, dexamfetamine, lisdexamfetamine and atomoxetine in children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) with transition to adult services in Berkshire

TRIAL WITHDRAWAL 12. There should be a discussion with the child and parent at each annual review to consider whether the medication is still needed. If there has not already been a trial off medication, *****consider withdrawal of medication***** (except if review has led to an increase in dose). This should be offered and discussed with the parent and child and the outcome recorded and a report made to the GP. Consideration must be given to patient/parent choice. If by the age of 17yrs and 9 months, the patient is not stable after trial withdrawal, they can be referred to the adult ADHD service led by Dr Alex Day.
