electrolyte imbalanc: You probably depleted your electrolyed and need to supplement them to make the water pill work. Duiuretics work with the removal of certain minerals from the body with the water. Low levels of the mineral make the water pill stop working. Go back to your doctor and have him check what is out of balance and prescribe the correct minerals.
