Sleeping Tablets

Hello fellow abusers;
I have a prescription sleeping medicine called Imovane(Zopicone) at 7.5mg given to me by my doctor. Sometimes they don’t work, usually half a tablet does the job but often 1 whole one does not even work(when Ive been taking Speed). I have found that putting half or even a little less under the tongue in the mouth puts me to sleep every time. Is it dangerous or unsafe to put it under the tongue and does it make my body work harder eg the liver and kidneys if goes in by mouth instead of swallowing it?
Should I be mixing this tablet with speed. And should I be having Speed while on Zyprexa(olanzapine) at 5mg and APO-Moclobemide(Moclobemide) at 150mg x 2tablets twice daily which have been given for drepression. I have quit speed in the past for months and will do it again in the next few days, promise...
Thank You

Speed is the real problem here,its what can get you in big trouble on its own, and in conjunction with these medications. You are on dangerous grounds, stick to your promise.
