Starting back on celexa

Starting back on celexa

I stopped taking 20mgs of Celexa at the end of Feb of this year.  Due to life stressors and hormone shifts (perimenopause), my anxiety and panic have come back.  

My question to you is I know that's it's best to start at the lowest possible dose on a SSRI in order to avoid the stimulating effects.  I started 5mgs yesterday (I plan to bump up in 2.5mgs increments ever week) and was wondering if I should expect side effects at this low dosage.  I'm feeling anxious today and am wondering if I'm undermedicated or I'm truly feeling the anxiety side effect of the medication.

Thanks.

It is most probably the anxiety rather than the side effects at that dose level.
