it would seem to me that maybe your neighbor & police broke the law somewhere by revealing & taking your medicine. the law protects you in this regard. look at the HIPAA laws & Civil Rights.
"The Office for Civil Rights enforces the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information, and the confidentiality provisions of the Patient Safety Rule, which protect identifiable information being used to analyze patient safety events and improve patient safety."

"The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) promotes and ensures that people have equal access to and opportunity to participate in certain health care and human services programs without facing unlawful discrimination."

they wouldn't do this and get away with it if it were any other prescribed drug.
UCLA & Kaiser just got spanked for divulging medical information.
