Suggest Alternative Medication To Percocet

Hi doctor, I feel uneasy in the night. Taking percocet makes me feel ok that I had been taking from one month die to gallbladder removal surgery. Now my doctor says as it has been one month for the surgery, you should take tylanol 1000mg and ibuprofen 800 for the pain and uneasiness. But both don t work as good. Could you ssuggest,what should I go for now
