Suggest Medicine For Migraines That Does Not Contain Codeine

I used to take Darvocet N-100 for migraines and now have to just suffer through them since Darvocet is no longer on the market. I cannot take anything with codeine, so most painkillers are not an option (nor is percocet). Is there an RX pain med that does not contain codeine?
