Note
A plural that belongs to the countable side of the noun: separate sums taken from an account, separate pullbacks of troops or participation. When the meaning is a condition rather than an event, such as the shock of going without a drug, English usually keeps the uncountable singular: symptoms of withdrawal, not of withdrawals. Counting the episodes is still possible, as in repeated withdrawals from alcohol.
