Dear Trish,
If you haven't done so already, you should call your son's doctor for information on how missing his cyclosporine doses might affect him. How long will it take for the medicine to be out of his system? What side effects might he feel if he's stopped cold turkey? I can't imagine that missing a few days or a week will cause his AA to relapse, but you will feel better if you hear it from his doctor.
Call his school, his friend, and the parents of his friends to put the word out that he's missing and needs meds. It's very likely that he's staying with a friend. Teens aren't usually bold enough to actually runaway if they don't have a place to go.
If he's not back in a day, you should not hesitate to call the police. They know a lot about where teens hang out when they run away and can help you find him more quickly.
Please let us know what happens.
Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
