pharmaceuticals - antidepressants
This comes from a description of an SSRI antidepressant drug, and in this section they're talking about what happens when the drug is discontinued:
"Interrupción del tratamiento: los *síntomas de retirada* cuándo se interrumpe el tratamiento son frecuentes, especialmente cuándo el tratamiento se interrumpe de forma brusca."
And: "El riesgo de aparición de los síntomas de retirada con los ISRS y IRSN puede depender de varios factores, incluyendo la duración y la dosis del tratamiento ... etc."
I'm not sure how to translate "retirada". Should this phrase be "withdrawal symptoms" or should it be "discontinuation symptoms"? The literature talks abundantly about SSRI withdrawal symptoms as well as discontinuation symptoms.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Reference:
SSRI discontinuation syndrome
SSRI discontinuation syndrome, also known as SSRI withdrawal syndrome or SSRI cessation syndrome, is a syndrome that can occur following the interruption, dose reduction, or discontinuation of SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) or SNRI antidepressant medications. The condition often begins between the time of reduction in dosage or complete discontinuation, depending on the elimination half-life of the drug and the patient's metabolism.
The particulars of the syndrome, in light of the multitude of prescribed agents, have been disputed.[1] Nonetheless, double-blind placebo-controlled studies[2] demonstrate statistically and clinically significant indications of difficulties with the discontinuing of SSRIs
