With people still perplexed by the actions and eventual shooting death of Carter Albrecht, the FDA has announced that it will be looking into the Albrecht case to see what role Chantix may have played in his violent behavior. Chantix is a stop smoking aid that was approved by the FDA in 2006, that many claim to be the best stop smoking aid they have ever tried.

While the upside sounds really good, the downside could be very bad. I have read hundreds of post with people praising the drug, but I have also read dozens of post by people experiencing terrible side effects from Chantix, some involving suicidal and violent thoughts. Look what one woman wrote on a Chantix blog on August 12, just shy of 3 weeks before the unexplainable acts of Albrecht on Labor Day.
