Brief Answer:
Yes it is right

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

I endorse the opinion of your doctor in regard to stopping risperdal and starting with Saphris. Saphris is not associated with elevation in prolactin and it is hopeful that prolactin level will be back to normal in next one to three months.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
