Brief Answer:
not really

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Well antidepressants won't have effect on cervical disc problems since this is biomechanical disorder. It may have only sedative effect and cause more relaxation so there may be temporary pain relief but it won't cure disease or slow progression of it.
Wish you good health. Regards
