Question by FieryOutlaw: 29 CFR 1910 regulations concerning storing employee prescription medication in an occupational first aid kit?
I have an employee who is asthmatic, and he’s put a back-up inhaler in one of our First-Aid kits here at work, and I’m not comfortable with it since I can’t find any regulations in regards to the legalities of it’s storage there. It’s not narcotic, and the prescription is well labeled for what it is and for who. It’ll just be my luck that if there IS a regulation against it, OSHA will show up and find it.

I’ve looked through the CFR 1910 under everything I can think of, and I can’t seem to find any regulations concerning an employee storing his/her own prescription medication in a workplace First-Aid kit.

Anyone got any ideas on where else I might further look for information?
I work in a production facility, and that particular first-aid kit is behind locked doors in our first-aid room. It’s only accessible to our “first responders”, and no one would have access to it without trained supervision.
Also, it’s a “back-up” in case he forgets the one he carries with him all the time.

He’s one of our plant employees on the production line and doesn’t actually have a space of his own.

I am in pretty bad shape and would like some help. I think that traditional psychotherapy will probably take a few years. Is there a newer kind of psychotherapy that could help me sooner?

Thanks
Besides medication
I worded the question poorly – I meant any new, faster treatments for psychological problems.
Donna – do you know if any therapists combine cognitive behavioral therapy and Freudian psychoanalytic therapy? My impression has been that the latter looks at the former as being harmful. But does anyone think that the two can be used together to good effect?

Is there a natural supplement one can take for depression?
I have never liked taking medication or dealing with the side effects that come along with it. So I’ve been looking up natural supplements that I could take in place of it. I came across something that said to take L-Tryptopphan and L-theanine.
Any help would be great.
