I just started taking Celexa about 3 weeks ago.

the reason why suspect that its the Celexa is because I noticed this particular lump in my throat while I was on Paxil several years ago.

Celexa and Paxil are very similar in make up. It may be the same reaction. Contact your prescribing doctor or the pharmacist, to see if this could get worse.

Speak to the person who prescribed the Celexa. If it is bothering you a lot, call their office right away and make a follow-up appointment.
A lump in the throat is *not* usually a sign of a dangerous illness (caveat: I am not a physician!) It is however associated with anxiety, as well as acid reflux disease.
Side effects of medication should always be addressed by your prescriber, or another trusted physician/nurse practitioner.

You should seriously get this checked out. A lady I know recently had a lump in her throat and it turned out to be thyroid cancer.

why not call your g.p. and ask them though, i don't think an antidepressant will cause it.
