As Aryabhata mentions this is another application for the Lambert W function. The solution to your problem is presented in the wikipedia article. Using elementary substitutions you have
$$x=\frac{\ln(y)}{W(\ln y)}$$
If you are interested in the asymptotic growth of $x$ relative to $y$, note that for every $z$: $W(z) = \ln{z} - \ln\ln{z} + o(1)$. Hence:
$$x=\frac{\ln(y)}{\ln{\ln y} - \ln\ln{\ln y} + o(1)} = \Theta\left( \frac{\ln y}{\ln \ln y}\right)$$
