I'm on 5mg for the 6th day. I was taking hydroxyzine 25mg 2-3 times a day, but stopped that yesterday.
Could Trintellix make you feel tired?

Yeah, but Trintellix made me itch like crazy to the point I cut myself many times. :/

Lovelife,
Hydroxyzine can cause drowsiness, sleepiness, and tiredness. Trintellix can cause mild sedation and sleepiness.
Maybe it was the combination of the two that caused your tiredness. Good thing you stopped the hydroxyzine. The side effects of the Trintellix should resolve in a week or two after you start the drug.
If you're not feeling better in the next few days let your doctor know.
