I was told the exact opposite by the ortho-cutter who put us on the low "as needed" dose. He said that since we'd been on it at higher dosages previously (and come back down off it), the lower dose [might/would - don't recall the exact] work. Between himself and the both of us, he's batting 3 for 3, but no guarantees. I've also heard people report alternating between gab & Lyr as each reached tolerance, so there may be something to the tolerance dissipating in time (or not).
