What else are you on? If you're not on a benzo and/or benzos aren't an option, then starting a bit higher and then going lower makes sense---lower doses, according to my ex-shrink, are stimulating and they become more "calming" as you move up the dosage. At 30 I didn't notice a whole lot of "calming," but then again my problems are a bit different from yours.
Personally, I'd rather start low, go slow if I were you, especially if stimulation is what you're after. Drug-induced anxiety would be a concern, but that could be addressed.
