    I've seen that made this question several months ago, so it's probably already gone to your doctor to treat this problem. However, your symptoms are alarming and should be evaluated. Galactorrhea (milk production when not breastfeeding) is usually caused by an overproduction of a hormone called prolactin (this is a condition called hyperprolactinemia). Prolactin may be generated by abnormal growths in your pituitary gland, and sometimes also overproduced in people whose thyroid is not working properly. Galactorrhea is a symptom that something is wrong. Your other symptoms are also worrying. If you have not already, make an appointment with your doctor.
