> Thanks, everyone. Does the rebound depression go away after the 2weeks, or does that last longer?

Hey. i hate to be discouraging, but i would want truth above deceptive optimism. But yeah, i think rebound depression from SSRI withdrawal can last a f**k of a long time-- alot longer than most professionals are aware of. i've been off Paxil for 3 months (after about 2 years being on) and still feel like death. i honestly don't know if Strattera would be helpful for you right now. With Lex. w/drawal, you're probably feeling an underactive serotonin system, and Strattera is not going to improve that at all (unless indirectly, but i doubt it). Maybe reinitiating low-dose Lexapro and gradually tapering more slowly, or taking some good-dose St. John's Wort might help. i don't know, but i hope it all works out well for you.
