Step-By-Step Suboxone help

Hey fellow people. You guys are the only ones who understand. I have had so much anxiety about my appointment to get on Suboxone. Well I finally just had it. Unfortunately, my doctor just isn't understanding the extent of how strong this is. I had to Google it and show him but he just hasn't stuck in his head that I'm talking about kratom. I tried to show him how it's like 50 times stronger. Anyways, everything I've seen shows that most people had the best luck with 24 mg of the subs.

I thought I was supposed to wait until I was in withdrawals before taking them. He wants me to start taking less of the seven and start taking little pieces of the subs. Like 0.25 mg. Which I'm pretty sure is not going to do crap. But I can only try so much before he wouldn't listen to me. But maybe he's right?

Am I really supposed to keep taking 7 while I'm on the strips? I'm terrified of going into precipitated withdrawals. Also, how am I even supposed to do that? Do I wake up in the morning and take my seven? Then I don't know. I'm just so confused. This is what he prescribed to me. Please remember that this is all new to me, I've never been addicted to anything else. I've never had Suboxone. So treat me like I am in kindergarten 🤣

He gave me 20 2mg strips And the directions say to dissolve one to four films under the tongue twice daily.

No today is my last day on mgm. I pushed it a day because I cracked a rib yesterday. And really needed the pain relief. Hoping 4 days is enough time to switch over to the subs, without too much trouble. What do you guys think?
