Hello,
Buprenorphine is a mixed opioid agonist antagonist. It helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids. It may help you to some extent on varying basis, not the drug of choice for multiple sclerosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
