Day 5 Suboxone Question

Hi all! First off this community has been incredibly helpful to me so I am so grateful I found it. I quit on Sunday. Had been on 7 about 100 mg per day at the end. Was on it for 5 months. Was also on about 25 grams a day of kratom powder for the past year. I quit both this last Sunday 5 days ago.

The withdrawal on Monday was agonizing and I went the Suboxone route. Quick Md prescribed the usual. I have a great relationship with my Dr and he changed the dosage dramatically. I was 8 mg day 1. 4 mg day 2. 2.5 mg day 3. 2 mg day 4 and 2 mg today (day 5). After much consideration I’m planning to taper an additional 21-25 days or so reducing by about 1/4 mg with a tweezers every couple days. My main question is this. While I am feeling much better than Monday, the cravings are fairly intense but manageable and I am keeping myself busy and exercising. I am not going to take a higher dose no matter what. I will reduce and be off the suboxone as per my schedule and deal with any withdrawals as necessary. Question is that in day 4 or 5 is it still normal to have cravings while on suboxone? While I feel so much better about life now that I’ve quit I’m concerned about my willpower. I have no drug history at all other than occasionally kratom use in the past. I’m a 62 year old male. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. I’m a bit scared today. Thanks 🙏
