My brother has been taking Tegretol CR 200 and Frisium 10mg tablets for his fits since he was 5 years old, but now we can't find the Tegretol CR 200 in stores or online. What can we use as a substitute for it? We really can't afford for him to skip his medicine, so I'd really appreciate any advice.
