Abstract

Buprenorphine is currently used for the treatment of opioid use disorder and pain disorder. It could be an effective alternative option for the treatment of anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, self-destructive actions and suicidal ideations. However, it has a major potential for abuse and diversion that limits its application in these disorders.
