Anecdotally, yeah. It's worth it. To be frank (I'll comment more on this elsewhere) I think the risk of permanent sexual dysfunction or any other permanent effect is dramatically overblown by articles like this one. The short-term and while-you're-taking-it side effects are real, but for me and many others well worth it. Everyone in my family has some sort of anxiety issue. Citalopram (with the help of therapy and lifestyle changes) helped me overcome severe anxiety, helped my brother stop throwing up whenever he got in a too-high-pressure situation, and gave my sister the willpower to move out of my parents' house and get a job. They're good drugs with frustrating downsides. That's life. I'd still recommend them.
