Has anyone tried Lyrica or Namenda for their chronic headaches?

I tried lyrica but I was allergic to it. My doctor was very surprised since I was his first patient to be allergic to it, apparently it has been helpful to some others.

I haven't tried Namenda, though I have heard of people trying it. I never heard if it worked or not though, just people mentioning that they were starting it. Not much help there.

I have had good luck with Lyrica. It doesn't get rid of my pain altogether but it makes it bearable. I've been taking it for over 2 years now.
