I'm thinking about using accutane because my acne has been driving me crazy. should someone with moderate acne went on accutane?

Go for it: If you have been offered isotretinoin, and your acne bothers you like this, do it unless you very much want to become pregnant in the next few months. It's not for the faint-hearted but most people who have used it are very glad, and it keeps acne at bay for months or even a year or two.
