Lisa, I've noticed the neck pain, too, with both Zoloft and Celexa. I do have a tendency to get tense and sore neck muscles, but it has definitely been more pronounced while I've been on these medications.
I also am being treated for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I would say the Celexa has made *some* difference, and even a little helps alot. The SSRI's seem to reduce my anxiety level and how much things upset me, so that the compulsions lose some of their edge - there's more "room" in my life for other things.
The most disturbing side effect for me has been the sexual dysfunction. Prozac was actually the most effective for my OCD. I have since tried all the other SSRI's, hoping to find one that doesn't interfere with sex. I have had less trouble with Celexa than the others, and it has helped with the depression, too.

> I have been on Celexa for 3 months. I have started to have a neck ache which I also had when I was on zoloft. It can be best described as a pulled neck muscle and aches like I have a "kink" in my neck. This is the whole reason I had to come off zoloft. Has any one experienced this?
>I have also noticed the celexa does very little for my obcessive-compulsiveness & anger. Any input would be appreciated.
