Excerpts:
1) Unfortunately there is a down side: at least 150 people have committed suicide while on Chantix over the last four years. Activists suspect the number is actually much higher, and that many suicides and murders are going overlooked or unattributed to their true cause.
2) In 2007 this issue became big national news after the death of musician Carter Albrecht, a kind person with no history of violence. After taking Chantix while drinking (Chantix users are cautioned not to mix Chantix with alcohol) Albrecht flew into an inexplicable psychotic rage, hit his girlfriend, and chased her next door when she fled. Their neighbor fired what was meant to be a warning shot, but it hit Albrecht in the head and he died instantly.

Popular Quit-Smoking Drug Linked to 150 Suicides: Is Chantix Worth the Risk?
From MSNBC -- Smoking Pill Suicides Overlooked In Missing Reports ...
Hundreds of reports of suicides, psychotic reactions and other serious problems tied to the popular stop-smoking drug Chantix were left out of a crucial government safety review because Pfizer, Inc., the drug’s manufacturer, submitted years of data through “improper channels.”

However, it was the tragic death of Omer Jama, a 39-year-old video editor from England that really focused the world's attention to the darker side of Chantix, which is marketed as Champix in the UK. Jama had been eager to kick his smoking habit, and had heard about the 'revolutionary' Champix. "He was so excited about giving up smoking," said his brother Ali, 41, "like a kid waiting for Christmas."
Jama was prescribed Champix by his physician. Jama's family and friends indicated that he had no history of depression or mental illness, and just days before his death had booked a holiday to Cuba, about which he was looking so forward.

Death
In the pre-dawn hours of 3 September 2007, Albrecht was shot and killed by his girlfriend's neighbor. After having some drinks with his girlfriend Ryann Rathbone at a Dallas bar, Albrecht became intoxicated. Rathbone drove him to her house, and they both took their dose of Chantix. A short while later, Albrecht began speaking incoherently, broke a drinking glass on a table, and hit Rathbone several times, something he had never done before. She ran outside, and Albrecht followed. Rathbone re-entered her home and locked the doors behind her. Albrecht yelled and pounded on her front door in an unsuccessful attempt to reenter her house.

Obitiuary by Zac Crain
Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, born on 06- 23-1973, died on September 3, 2007. Known to all as Carter, the graduate of Southern Methodist University looked and sounded, but never acted, like a star. Singing and playing guitar and piano in a number of bands, including Sparrows, Sorta, and Edie Brickell and New Bohemiams, Carter was as close to a virtuoso as one might find toiling in bars and nightclubs rather than an orchestra pit. Based on that boundless talent, he was named Musician of the Year and Best Songwriter by the Dallas Observer in 2003. Yet he always carried himself with the humility and enthusiasm of someone who was just getting his start. In fact, his personality and character far surpassed his skills as a musician; Carter would have stood out from any crowd he chose had he never touched a piano key. He was a genuine fan of music and life in general, especially of the many instances when the two could be combined. Because of the joy he found while on this earth, and the joy he brought to others in the process, he will always be with us, though we truly and deeply miss him. Carter is survived by his parents, Kenneth and Judith, and a few dozen of the best songs that ever came out of Dallas.
Carter's solo album, "Jesus Is Alive... And Living In London" is almost completed and will be out as soon as possible.

Edie Brickell & New Bohemians Keyboard Player Shot to Death by Girlfriend's Neighbor After Domestic Spat
Monday, September 03, 2007 
DALLAS — Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, a keyboard player for the band Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, was shot to death early Monday while trying to kick in the door of his girlfriend's neighbor, police said.
The neighbor, who was not immediately identified, was asleep in bed when he woke up around 4 a.m. to his wife screaming that someone was breaking into the house, according to a police report. The neighbor yelled through the door for Albrecht to leave and then fired his handgun through the door.
Albrecht was shot in the head and died at the scene, police said.
The neighbor believed a burglar was trying to break in and fired a shot through the door around 4 a.m., Dallas police spokesman Sgt. Gil Cerda said. The case is under investigation and no arrests have been made.
News reports cited police saying Albrecht beat up his girlfriend and then tried to kick down the neighbor's door in a drunken rage. The couple had no history of domestic violence, but the girlfriend had bruises on her face, police said. She did not suffer serious injury.
Albrecht apparently struck his girlfriend in the face several times and hit her in the back once she fell. She later managed to lock him out of the house, according to the reports.
"He was at his girlfriend's house last night," said Danny Balis, Albrecht's roommate. "He left the house and went next door and — for whatever reason, which we don't know — he knocked on the neighbor's door. And from what I understand, he was persistent. I don't know if there was a verbal exchange, but the person panicked and fired a shot through the door."
The death of Albrecht, who also played keyboard and guitar and sang in the Dallas rock band Sorta with Balis, stunned friends and those who knew him in the North Texas music community.
"He is not a violent person," said Carrie Garcia, Sorta's manager. "He is cool as a cucumber, shy, always wanted to make a joke in a situation that may be a little tense."
Albrecht, who went by his middle name, had been with the New Bohemians since 1999, according to the band's Web site. Albrecht played several times with Brickell's husband, Paul Simon, Garcia said. He also played with Texas musician Charlie Sexton, a renowned guitarist.
Albrecht was working on a solo album that Balis called "the best thing he has ever done."
"He was the best musician I've ever played with — no question," Balis said. "He could play anything. It's a shame not enough people outside of Dallas heard him."
