No, you need to be under a doctor's care to take prescription medication. There could be a reaction, like an allergic reaction or the dose could be too much for your body. If anything bad happened to you because you had a reaction and had to be seen in the ER, there could be legal issues related to whoever gave you their prescription medication, as well.
