Which of the following is NOT a symptom of delirium tremens?

Delirium tremens (DTs) is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal characterized by a variety of symptoms that can include agitation, confusion, hallucinations, and tremors. Hallucinations may involve auditory, visual, or tactile sensations that are not present; tremors are common and often signify the body's hyperactive state due to withdrawal from alcohol. Confusion and disorientation are hallmark features as well, often leading to difficulty with awareness of one's surroundings or clarity of thought.

Weight gain is not associated with delirium tremens. In fact, individuals experiencing DTs often show signs of weight loss, dehydration, and malnutrition due to the physiological stress of withdrawal, poor dietary intake, or increased metabolic demands during this crisis. Thus, recognizing the symptoms of DTs is crucial for identification and appropriate management, while weight gain does not fit within the symptom profile of this condition.
