I have been taking this for 3 to 4 days & it doesn't seem to be helping how much time is needed before I know the dosage is correct how long does it take before it should work?
How long should it take for me to feel relief from taking Tizanidine?

The first pill should have helped.
So obviously the dosage should be higher?
I have been taking this for years now. I take 2 mg in the day and 4mg at night. I can take it every 4-6 hours. You should feel some relief from muscle spasms in about 45 minutes. Do not take more than you are prescribed, it will put you right to sleep. I have constant muscle spasms in my neck, so I take them every day and night. Good Luck to you. Tell your Dr. if they do not help.
