Brief Answer:
Requires close monitoring

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns . but as you lose weight during treatment with belviq , your dosage requirement of glimepiride or any other diabetic medications you are receiving may change. You may need more frequent monitoring of your blood sugar and adjustment of your diabetic regimen both during and after treatment with belviq. refer to your doctor to decrease the dose of glimepiride if you experience hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, nausea, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and rapid heartbeat. Also glimepiride and Amlodipine increase each other's action so you need to closely monitor your blood glucose level and blood pressure .i hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
