Detailed Answer:
Hi I Am Dr Gopal Goel
Accidental Ingestion of 50 mg of Hydrochlorothiazide will only make you pee more as hydrochlorothiazide is a mild diuretic. You may also have increase in thirst.Apart from this I don't anticipate any other side effect.
Percocet may make you drowsy but there should be no problem in sleeping.
I hope to have answered your question. please feel free to ask any further question.
