Question: Can i get in trouble for having unprescribed vicodin on me.?
Answers:
YES! If you can not provide a legal prescription- written in your name, you would be illegally in possession of a controlled substance- a narcotic.Health Question & Answer

A friend/ no names got in trouble because he could not prove legal ownership of a narcotic drug. He ended up with a fine and 1 yr probation. Now to get his prescribed vicodin he has to call the probation officer to get permission to get his vicodin. It's the same with the other pain meds.Health Question & Answer

I would say yes in most cases, at least in the USA. You can get charged with possession of a controlled substance, which I believe is a felony. Whether that translates to just probation or jail time, I'm not sure.

You can read this story about a guy in CA who had 140 Vicodin on him (no prescription) and faced up to 3 years in jail. However, he had much more than just Vicodin with him at the time:
