I've kind of been down this road a bit. I've been prescribed percocet and hydrocodone at the same time from two different docs. Didn't even think of telling either one. Was stupid and filled at my same pharmacy and the pharmacist thought he/she was real smart and told both, but in the end, I was not in trouble because. 1.hydrocodone was not working, I had to have something stronger and 2. right before surgery I wanted to taper as low as I could go on hydro. so I wouldn't have a high tolerance level. They did not like that I forgot to tell them about each other, but I wrote a long letter with facts and information supporting what had actually happened. Anyway, it was a long story that I tried to shorten. Also, I was prescribed darvocet once and was green from nausea, so the doctor prescribed hydro. at the same time. Anyway, there are all sorts of situations out there that are not necessarily illegal. Basically, lying to more than one doctor to get the same medication for the same condition is not tolerated at all. Be careful!
