Hi, Kel!
No, you're not crazy.
Is it possible that Lexapro could be causing this new symptom? That is something I'd personally research and ask your Dr. about.
As for the feeling out of it...oh yeah!! When I'm in a major depression, that's exactly how I feel.
I've been watching anything on TV that will make me laugh. Last week I was watching "America's Funniest Home Videos" which usually has me in stitches laughing so hard. Last week...nothing I saw on it made me laugh, which really concerned me.
This week I was back to laughing at most of the videos.
I must be getting better.
*EDIT* I just reread your post and saw that you began the counting
before going on the Lexapro, so forget my theory.
It sounds like a lot of people who are not diagnosed OCD have some sort of the counting thing. I tend to check my door a few times after I lock it and have to look in my purse multiple times to make sure my keys are in it before I lock my car door.
I knew a girl years ago who would add up phone numbers on her calculator.
I agree with Cherry - be open with your pdoc. I know it can be hard, but they've heard most everything and can pinpoint things that are causing symptoms, etc.
