ADs can raise prolactin levels and thus cause galactorrhea.
The dopaminergic agonists bromocriptine and pramipexole are both able to lower prolactin levels and thus ameliorate the galctorrhea.
Pramipexole has the added benefit of often improving mood yet further when combined with an SSRI.
I suggest you consult an experienced psychopharmocologist about adding on one of these meds to treat your problem.
