Suggest Hydrocodone Alternate For Migraine With History Of Depression

I have depression and anxiety, and severe stress/tension which brings on migraines. I am currently on Lorazepam 1mg, but it is not effective for the migraines. My Dr. used to prescribe Hydrocodone for them, which actually worked, but he now refuses to prescribe due to the potential abuse of the medication. Is there a comparable medication that will help with the migraines?
