Yes. What I use when I don't feel like using Percocet (or 3) is Tylenol Extra Strength Rapid-Release Gel Tabs. They work fast (within 30 minutes) and are great for Back pain. The other OTC med I use is Bayer Back & Body Aspirin. Since I use a LOT of Percocet (120/150 Percocet 10/325's per month for the past 9 years) I don't use Tylenol as much since Percocet is a combination of Tylenol and Oxycodone. However, both of the above OTC meds are strong enough to deal with any breakthrough pain I don't feel the need for using Percocet for. I typically will take 2, and that's the recommended dosage anyway.

Others I've recommended the Rapid Release tabs to have told me that they have gotten good results as well. It works fast and last 8 hours.

If you read my Supervisor bio toward the bottom, you can get an idea for how bad my back / spine is and the level of opiates that I use. I only use Percocet for breakthrough pain - I have much stronger meds for my primary pain. It may give you some insight as to how effective the 2 meds I mentioned above are for me.
