After about 50 miles on the wheel, you should have brought it back to the LBS for re-tensioning, particularly if it was a relatively cheap replacement wheel.
I had a similar experience with a replacement wheel for my hybrid bike a number of years ago. Got 100 miles on the new wheel and it started to taco about 30 miles from my house.
If you have any mechanical inclination, you could easily learn to true and tension a wheel yourself. They last a lot longer when carefully looked after.
