More details to this question:
I am bipolar II and take three medications on a daily basis. I keep them in a clear pill organizer. I sometimes place the organizer in my clear cubbie/drawer at work, but only if I need to take them during work hours. One day, in front of at least two other employees, my boss asked me why i was taking so many pills. She gestured to my cubbie and said "I can see them right there." I replied by saying it was personal Do I have any legal rights regarding her questioning me? This is the second time she has done this. I see no productive reason to tell her about my situation. I work in a jewelry store that is highly monitored and I am never alone.

Unless you are being harassed to the point that the treatment about your disability is interfering with your work, then you likely do not have a claim unless your employer makes a decision because of your disability. You may want to speak with an employment attorney.
