I had side effects at doses as low as 10mg also.
I've had two trials of Celexa. The first time, I had anxiety initially, but it did fade after about 10 days. The second time (recently) I was also taking Klonopin, so had no anxiety at all.
I also had nausea, gut pain and general gastric upset, which took weeks to subside.
The side effects that did not resolve, were headaches,insomnia and sexual dysfunction.
Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Celexa in trial 2, due to the side effects, even though I did find it very helpful for my anxiety, particularly when taken with a low dose of Klonopin.
It's quite likely that all of your start-up side effects will subside within 2 weeks. Celexa was helpful for my daughter's anxiety with no side effects...so I wish you good luck!
