Hi,

I have no choice,
me neither or me too.

I think the answer is me neither, because 'no choice' means 'not any choice' , is that right?

Thanks...

Correct.

Negative statement, and you agree:
I don't either.
Me neither.
Neither do I.

Positive statement, and you agree:
Me too.
I do too.
(Some people put commas before "too.)

EDIT: Dang -- I was too slow!
 
I have also seen "me either" for negative statements.
 
Dear bhaisahab,
You mean even in novels or conversation? Because I found it in a novel.

You will hear it, but you will hear a lot of things said that are incorrect/non-standard/uneducated English.

If you saw "me either" in a novel, it would have to be dialogue (unless it was a first person novel). Either way, that is representative of how the character speaks. The author is not asserting that it is correct English.
If you read narrative or description in a novel, you can generally trust that to be good English. Generally - because the novel is often an experimental form.
 
Thanks a lot Raymott.
