If the drug has been prescribed for you and you are doing all of the other things you have been asked to do, you probably are in the clear. Depends on the drug as to whether there will be follow up.

There are a host of other laws he might be charged with if he attempted to interfere with a supervisee's prescribed treatment.
Criminal penalty for violation of the Privacy Rule under HIPAA is as follows:
"A person who knowingly obtains or discloses individually identifiable health information in violation of the Privacy Rule may face a criminal penalty of up to $50,000 and up to one-year imprisonment. The criminal penalties increase to $100,000 and up to five years imprisonment if the wrongful conduct involves false pretenses, and to $250,000 and up to 10 years imprisonment if the wrongful conduct involves the intent to sell, transfer, or use identifiable health information for commercial advantage, personal gain or malicious harm. The Department of Justice is responsible for criminal prosecutions under the Privacy Rule." US Department of Health & Human Services
