I gained weight while taking Lamictal for a month. It's been three months since I'm off it and haven't managed to lose the weight. How long does it take?

I was on it for 6 mths at high dose and didn't have any weight gain/loss, guess everyone's different.

It is an unusual response to Lamictal. For most people it is weight neutral and some people even lose weight on it.
