Brief Answer:
Don't take them both.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you can't take both of them because they have major interactions such drowsiness , dizziness, breathing difficulty, light-headness or respiration depression and coma.
You may wait for 12 hours and continue vincodine instead of Percocet.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
