They really helped me during my sitch. I had my doctor prescribe two for me -- one to be taken every day, to sort of "even out" my moods and my anxiety. The other was to be taken only if I was having an anxiety attack, of which I had had two up until that point (after not ever having ANY in 47 years!). Thankfully, I only needed those 2-3 additional times.
I did stay on the everyday ones for a year or so before getting off of them. I don't think there's any shame in it if they help you be a better DB'er, employee, parent, etc.
