Hello, I Got My Tonsils Out 10 Days Ago And

hello, I got my tonsils out 10 days ago and saw my psychiatrist a few days before tghe surgery about two weeks ago. I was on 100mg strattera, but my mother and teachers didn't seem to like it. My doctor was convinced I needed a stimulant drug to reach my full potential. We talked to my doctor and prescribed 20mg vyvanse and said to come back in a month in order to increase the dose to 30 or 40mg because, well I've been diagnosed with severe ADHD for about 8 years. He didn't want me to take the vyvanse while on vicodin for the tonsillectomy. He wanted me to tapper off the strattera from 5 days of taking 80mg, 5 days of taking 60mg and then 5 days of taking 40mg, then immediatley taking vyvanse when I can go back to school once I recover. the problem is my throat has been hurting so bad I havent been able to take my psychiatric medication like wellbutrin, clonazepam and seroquel for the past few days, and I've only been able to tapper of the 80mg strattera, so do you think I should start taking vyvanse on monday or finish off the 60mg and the 40 mg strattera, and take vyvanse later.
