this has been my experience as well. even attempting to replicate a ++++ a week or two later can be problematic - you'll still get visuals and get the body high and mentally you'll know you're tripping, but it won't feel as special. for me the biggest thing is always that the closed eye mental imagery is a lot less pronounced if i trip even just a week apart, unless i increase the dose a lot and even then it doesn't always work out.
however, sometimes i do like to take something the day after (like 2C-B the day after an LSD trip) knowing full well that i won't be getting full spectrum effects, just to kind of enjoy the afterglow of a good trip. but the key is going in knowing that it's going to be a mild trip, not a replication of the night before.
