Have you ever been on more than one anti-psychotic medication at the same time?

Have you ever had comments been made about the option of being on one or more anti-psychotic medications?

I am wondering due to differing opinions about the issue and just thought I would ask to see if it throws up anything I can think about or look into.

Backstory, partner was on high dose of Quetiapine and low dose of Chlorpromazine [both anti-psychotics] for a long time. In hospital recently they changed the Chlorpromazine to Haloperidol but said that she could not be on Quetiapine AND Haloperidol because the BNF does not condone the use of two antipsychotics so she would need to taper the Haloperidol off immediately.

Obviously I wonder the validity of the statement about being on more than one antipsychotic because she been on two for a long time, and in hospital they even had her on all three I have mentioned for a couple of days.

The Haloperidol seems to dim her voices a bit, so it would be good to know HOW frowned upon being on two at the same time really is. If its a matter of opinion or a hard and fast rule that cannot be broken. I know all psychotropic medications react with one another, but there has been no side effects so far, on any of the combinations they have had her on.
