Several causes: You may be on medications that can stimulate one to produce milk. These are ususally in the psychotrophic group but there are others. You may have developed a prolactinoma which stimulates the breast to produce. Galactorrhea (milk production) in a non-pregnant woman and without known cause should be checked out. Please get seen.

Hormone or stimuli: High levels of prolactin (either over-production by your pituitary gland or medications) or nipple stimulation can cause milk production. See you pcp to check it out.
