Could I really have shizoaffective disorder?

I was recently put on a lower dose of my meds and even taken off one. Recently I have slowly began to hallucinate again. Both with my Dysmorphia and audio hallucinations. Along with slight blurry hallucinations sometimes. I am extremely paranoid. Like earlier I thought I was making my girlfriends own mental illness worse by praying for her. She has Shizophrenia. I am so paranoid that I can barely move too.
I have lived in an assisted living program for the past 2 years and until now I did not even know why I was living here because I was so medicated and normal.
Edit: I am begging to feel more normal after stopping drinking caffeine and drinking more water. It seems to be helping quite a bit in just the past few minutes.

That’s really for your psychiatrists to decide. How could any of us answer? But do see your doctor and get yourself stabilized again.
While a psychiatrist can give a diagnosis to your symptoms, and different psychiatrists might offer differing diagnoses, here is a link to Wikipeda that may help you to consider if schizoaffective disorder might be an appropriate diagnosis.
I am very sorry to read this post. You are hurting, and that seems to be avoidable. Please, see your psychiatrist quickly and tell him/her what you have told us.
Your doctor needs to know ASAP about the symptoms coming back. We really can’t assess your diagnosis but he may have cut your meds back to much or to fast. Don’t change anything without consulting your doctor.
The hallucinations are a sign something is wrong. You know that. See your doctor. Get the meds dosages straightened out. The good thing is that it is treatable. You’ll feel much better when the meds are corrected.
First and foremost, don’t take advice from strangers on the internet. Although there are very smart and attractive people here, like myself, not everyone will give you the sort of answer that a professional can. Talk to your doctor about your meds. Clearly, there needs to be a change. I would try to take the bare minimum if possible.
