Sublingual and orally disintegrating pills merely make them easier to swallow in an oral method -- they still pass through your mouth, the esophagus, and the GI tract and eventually the liver or kidney system depending on the drug.
Remeron e.g. has a orally disintegrating preparation, or it did at one time.]
Frequently you see Zinc and Vitamin C sublingual tablets for colds (which typically through studies only cut a day off one at best), and they dissolve in anywhere from 5-15 minutes at most.
