breast leaking milk

I'm not pregnant (I have the copper coil - so no hormones), its mainly my left breast and it happens 'spontaneously' (as in I don't put any pressure on it or squeeze my nipples - I felt damp this afternoon and I'd leaked through my bra, vest and top) I stopped breast feeding almost a year ago, I've been to the doctor and taken some pretty nasy drugs to stop the milk (I felt so sick) which worked for about 2 weeks, I've had a blood test and my prolactin levels are within normal ranges so I was told to wait and it would sort its self out... that was about 4 months ago and no change, I'm fed up of having to remember breast pads, I feel nackered and not like I've 'got my body back' at all Sad

anyone got any advice (apart from see the GP - which I will do but its bank holiday weekend and I need to vent/whinge/chat about it as its really bugging me)

I was going to ask if you were on any other medication, as it can be a side effect of some (it's a side effect of my anti-depressants), but I guess your doctor will have looked into all that already.

I was on anti depressants but I'm not now, I was hoping it would stop when I stopped them but its been months... I was told the ad's got out of your system after a few weeks...

I thought they could take a few weeks too, not months.
