I'm moderately fluent in my gjâ-zym-byn, though mostly only in its
written form (still very slow and stuttery in speaking it).  It
sometimes happens
that I first think of something in gzb and a moment later in English;
rather more often that happens with an Esperanto word coming to
mind first.   It's less frequent for me to be able to think of a word in gzb
but not in English, but it has happened occasionally.
