As with any psych med it takes a full month to really work the way it is supposed to!. It also takes that long for some of the most apparent side affects to lessen!. If it doesn't seem to be working after 4 months talk with your psychiatrist about changing the dose or a new medication!. And either of these changes will take a another month to see if their working!.

But it should be doing its thing by now!. Also weight gain is a side affect but so is potential weight loss!. Likely it is just a matter of how you react individually to the medication and how you approach the side affects!. For example if it really sedates you and your activities lessen a lot you may gain weight Conversely if you sleep so much or are too tired to care to eat you may loose weight!. If your concerned about the weight issue speak with your psychiatrist!. But I presume if you don't alter your usual activity level and food intake you shouldn't have an issue with it!. Since you have put on a lot of weight you may want to change your medications to a less sedating med and or one that has no potential side affects on weight
