Getting high kinda prolongs the afterglow
A huge part of the psychedelic experience is the integration period after your trip in which the thoughts, ideas, and experiences that you underwent during your trip can be used to make positive changes to your life. If you don't give yourself proper time to do this, your trips will stop benefiting you.
The long-term benefit I got from mushrooms was that they cured my depression tho - they just did something permanent to my brain that stopped me getting such serious depression.
^ I'd say that's integration right theresometimes it's smaller stuff like boosting creativity, giving you ideas for work, getting you out of a bad situation.. other times it's a more permanent mindset change that can happen all by itself, but usually needs a little help (whether that's during the trip, after, or both).
In my case for example, AMT helped me overcome my social anxiety. That was helped along by me taking it with my friend and talking about my trouble though - and then to integrate it fully I took those lessons and acted upon them, went out, faced my fears.. and I'm now proudly anxiety free :D
Have you considered classical nootropics like racetams added to your low dose LSD? It wouldn't really take care of the downregulation but it can increase the effectivity of the LSD. However this can be pretty serious and unpredictable at full LSD doses as several people report, including myself. So you might wanna try that out on days you don't have commitments and responsibilities, and your mileage may vary...
But generally, no I never heard of an easy way to fix your problem... and if it turned out some heavy psychiatric medication could speed up recovery during the off periods of your cycle then I would find that a disproportionate measure - people get them through actual indications and prescriptions for a very good reason.
