"I know people say to give it 6 months."
Do you want people to say something else? Just tell me what it is you want to hear, and I'll repeat it.
But seriously, if you want out so badly, start looking for another place to go. What's the worst-case scenario? You keep looking and looking until that magical "not too soon" date passes. That would be no different from simply waiting without looking. But if you start looking now, you might get an opportunity to leave earlier than that magical date.
What do you have to lose?
Are you worried that a short period of employment will make you look bad? Of course, if you get an interview, they'll most likely ask why you want to leave your current employer so soon. Just tell the truth: the role is not what was advertised, and you're unhappy with it.
Unless you have a whole string of short-term jobs on your résumé, it shouldn't be a problem.
