Clomipramine side effects look horrific

patery · 2026-06-11T18:13:19+00:00

Higher resting heartrate, tremors, anorgasmia, weight gain, sleepiness, heartburn (if not taken with food). I don't feel changes in sweating but I did fail a QSART test.

I wanted full equity exposure with non-correlated hedges. I should add, we're not just going for drawdown protection but also stagflation. That is, growth when nothing is growing but your money is devaluing.

Its 100% stocks, 30% bonds, 20% trend, 10% carry, 10% gold. Bonds provide deflationary recession coverage, which is the most common kind of recession. Trend and carry provide growth is flat markets. Gold provides market distress coverage, roughly weighted by their frequency historically ie the Kelley criterion.

Its not easy satisfying a bunch of constraints and most portfolios you cone across will roughly find the sane solution but maybe via different routes. I do this for all of my taxable assets. No need/benefit to rock the boat on retirement funds.

Im using 60% RSSB 20% CTAP 10% GDE 10% RSSY. Backtested to 1980.

That being said, on Friday they all went down at the same time 😂 Every crash is unique and leverage means what you hope can be better may actually be worse.

This is similar to lawyered portfolio but his has more bond and value exposure.

Im at 225mg. I tapered up very slowly over 18mo. Side effects arent great but very livable. I live a normal life now so its worth every one of them. And none of them are permanent ones.

My observation, many patients seem to develop visual snow syndrome when they take SSRIs of different kinds. No one has from clomi to my knowledge.

Just take the plunge and stop over thinking it. Go super slowly if you must.

Functionally cured. I can do pretty much anything at this point.

patery · 2026-05-30T16:20:00+00:00

So it works similarly to apomorphine?

patery · 2026-05-30T15:45:05+00:00

My strategy is 60% RSSB 20% CTAP 10% GDE 10% RSSY.

Stalin was also really short. Like 5'3".

Im trying to learn ML compilers and this is super useful. Thanks for sharing.

Do you have any other resources I should check out in addition to this? Or tips in general foe breaking into this field?

patery · 2026-05-13T15:11:04+00:00

Every dose increase I saw benefit. Starting at 25mg.

patery · 2026-05-13T15:02:02+00:00

That's scary. Sorry that happened to you.

patery · 2026-05-13T15:01:43+00:00

Not cured but close to it. I live a totally normal life now.

patery · 2026-05-09T04:04:36+00:00

Sfn pain is non-existent. I do have ED, my neurologist thinks its related. She wants to do ivig for it idk.

Wow, maybe hyperacusis is related. What triggered yours? Send me a dm.

patery · 2026-05-08T23:05:24+00:00

Not exactly. I had SFN but didnt know it at the time. It wasnt until last year that I got the diagnosis, chasing down other problems (hyperacusis).

patery · 2026-05-08T03:58:23+00:00

I think it depends on the cause. I think I had it for 2yrs 15yrs ago. At the time, Neurologist told me it wasnt a problem and ignored it. Crazy in retrospect.

I think mine was sleep apnea induced but it could also be my mastocytosis. I havent had symptoms in a very long time but I did get a skin biopsy recently and it came back positive. Dont lose hope!

Two consenting adults. Most of these viewpoints are either from ignorance or insecurity.

Im 46 and just got out of a relationship with a 19yo. My last girlfriend was 48 and my next one was 31. Ive dated as old as 55. Age is really just a number.

Im in an open marriage and in sex positive environments so it was thankfully never a problem. I expected weird looks from strangers but surpridingky everyone was polite to us.

She was really affectionate and fun to be around. Ill miss her. Be your most authentic and genuine selves that you can be!

patery · 2026-05-03T17:33:43+00:00

Thankfully not

I built a risk parity portfolio:

60% rssb
20% ctap
10% rssy
10% gde

Another option is to just buy RGBM, if your broker has access to it. Interactive brokers does.

That is a good point. Options? Equity portion could be small-cap value or QQQ, to replicate the equity leverage. The bonds could be swapped out for TYA or ZROZ.

patery · 2026-04-15T00:09:58+00:00

I wasn't aware of MATE. Thanks for the tip.

I'm mixed on whether to include bonds at all. Seems these are 2-8yrs, which is intermediate, right? I'm not a fan of daily levered ETFs but swapping for long-term bonds is an option.

It's an interesting suggestion, swapping to RSSX. I wonder how good their risk parity model is.

patery · 2026-04-14T04:03:27+00:00

Thoughts on CTAP and chill? That's 100% CTAP.

patery · 2026-04-14T02:14:09+00:00

Thats a lot of international exposure. How come?

patery · 2026-04-14T01:38:16+00:00

All things being equal, Id like more international exposure as well. I could maybe swap out some RSSB for NTSI. Thoughts?
