derealization or depersonalization on accutane?

i’ve been taking accutane for almost 4 months now on a low dose of 20 mg. before accutane, i’ve never really had any diagnosed mental illness, im a very anxious person, very sad in general and have felt some random waves of derealization here and there but not like this.
about a few weeks after starting accutane i felt like i had already completely lost myself. it felt like i had no control over me, my actions, what i was saying and doing and everything felt like a dream and i was just living on command. i felt lifeless and like i couldn’t feel any of the good and happy emotions but all of the bad emotions were completely heightened.
but it’s not just that and idk if it’s just me but mt eyes are CONSTANTLY very always watery, i can start crying at any moment (i never used to cry) everything seems blurry, and i can’t remember stuff like my memory is being very severely affected i can’t remember more short term stuff but it’s scary.
i still don’t know if these feelings of derealization/depersonalization are connected to or caused by the accutane but i feel like smth is completely messing with my head.
if anyone else experienced smth like this pls help i don’t know what to do
