Which symptom is NOT typically associated with withdrawal from sedative/hypnotics?

In the context of withdrawal from sedative/hypnotics, increased appetite is not a symptom that is typically associated with this process. When an individual withdraws from sedative medications, such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates, they often experience a range of symptoms that reflect the body's reaction to the absence of the substance. Common withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, which occurs as the central nervous system becomes more active without the depressant effects of the drugs. Diaphoresis, or excessive sweating, and tremors are also symptoms that arise due to heightened physiological arousal during withdrawal. In contrast, increased appetite is more commonly linked to withdrawal from stimulants or certain other substances, rather than sedative/hypnotics, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
