I don't think anyone has questioned them for people with serious disease as the benefits outweigh the negatives.
The Article quoted 1 in 5 coming off because they couldn't tolerate the side effects so I presume you are in the 1 to 4 bracket, some who will tolerate the effects as the better of two evils.
They were being dished out to relatively fit people and that was the big ?
But better if they do develop a kinder drug for you too whether it will meet its expectations is another question
