It does not appear to be dangerous to take these two medications together if done correctly. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to determine if these two medications are okay for you and how you should take them.

From my limited understanding, it is not suggested that you take both at the same time. One is a stimulant and one is a depressant. It's probably very rough on the old ticker.

vicodin and hydrocodone are the same thing. Vicodin is simply the "brand" name. So, you actually wouldn't be mixing anything- just multiplying your dose of vicodin.

percocet is a little bit stronger than vicodin in terms of its sedating and painkilling effects. i had my wisdom teeth out a month ago and after a few days the vicodin the doctor prescribed me for pain gradually lost its effect. he then prescribed me percocet which felt stronger to me but like the vicodin it gradually lost its effect. your body tends to build high tolerances to these drugs if used consistently.
