There hasn't been much investigation into the long-term side effects of these meds, but now that's likely to change. The FDA has asked the Drug Safety and Risk Management advisory committee to look at cardiovascular risks, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. That will be good information to have in weighing the decision about whether and how to treat.
