Why is my body acting differently?

Since last year I started having serve heat flashes through out the day at work and all I do is sit and type and answer the phone, my boobs started leaking and becoming extremely sore and my weight goes up and then goes down. I dont know what is happening. The doctors checked my thyroid, breast examine and everything. I do have the IUD and next year will be five years so I do not have a pd and I do take pills for depression. I dunno what is happening. I am always tired and just feel like I don't have very much energy.

Would help to know your age, because 40's+ could be peri-menopause, but leaky breasts I'm assuming is milk, so that's a different hormonal concern if you had a baby/nursing.  Mainstream Dr's don't like to do HRT anymore,  so may need a private Dr to address hormone discomfort.  One of my breasts has always given drops of milk when squeezed which is highly unusual but not a problem in itself.  If you're spontaneously leaking w/o a pregnancy, see an obgyn Dr. to test hormones and discuss.  I used to take antidepressants for pain and I did get hot flashes, eventually became dangerous serotonin syndrome that most my Dr's acted like wasn't a problem, but your meds could be, and you should consult for options.  It's also possible you could be harboring an IUD infection.  I had Lyme of all things, grow around my IUD- at first felt like a yeast infection, but within days I was begging for removal.  Unbearable pain spread down my legs and abdomen.  hysterectomy didn't help.  Finally figured out through a friend, because Drs were no help, that I could have Lyme.  An LLMD saved and changed my life.  Not saying that applies here, just relaying what I can for you and others.  Good luck.
