Psychedelic after glow

For about 1-3 days after tripping depending on the substance i get an awesome after glow.
During this period i will just want to trip again and i will not be scared of tripping and i will remember almost the whole trip.
At a week i am more hesitant to trip and alot of details that i had not either told people about or recalled with the people i was tripping with will be gone.
I think that this is because the psychedelic experience changed your brain. Connectivity in the the default mode network (which is responsible for sense of self and what not) has decreased and the individual who had the experience may become more empathetic, more disciplined, more clear minded, less anxious or depressed.
BUT the changed are so short lived because the brain compensates for those changes and brings you back to the primal/survival based setting.
That is just my theory. Has anyone experienced anything similar that may support this theory?

I'm not sure about your theory, but I think the effects you're describing are pretty common. Tripping sometimes feels like a dream, and even though you're totally engrossed in at while it's happening, it can be hard to remember after a few days have passed.
And then when it comes to your next trip, you're a bit reluctant because there's that pre-trip anxiety, even though you know you're going to have fun. And when you're actually tripping, you say, "of course! This is what it feels like to trip! I remember now! Why didn't I take more, and why didn't I trip sooner?"
That's my experience, at least.

LSD used to give me a nice afterglow. not so much anymore for some reason

That afterglow has lasted months for me in some cases. Can't explain why.

I usually have a head change for a day or two after a heavy trip, like a renewal in life.

Weird and shitty.
The comedown is by far the best part of psyches and the after glow sort of falls into that catagory. The best is right after a trip though. With mushrooms i find i snap out of the trip right away at the end. Then i still sort of fell like im on the comedown but very very weak. Between the comedown and afterglow.
but with LSD i gradually get more sober but never snap back all at once i just have to go to bed and wake up to be sober.
Either way the afterglow is extermely beneficial. They both help with depression and anxiety and shrooms helps with motivation and making the right choices. Maybe LSD can just as well i need to experiment more.
The main difference is that the LSD afterglow lasts multiple days but a shrroms after glow has never lasted longer than a day for me. But they both have similar benefits.

When you are tripping your mind is such thst it understand and feels things that are less accesible when the ego is intact, things like the interconnectedness and unity of all beings the eternal nature of the self, Feeling one with the whole pattern of existence. These are very real but difficult to feel especially in the paradigm of consumer culture and western religions.
So when you come back to the "real world" which is sctually horribly phony egotistical and destructive, where all people care about is your plans for making money, 0 mileage automobiles, and stupid vacation cruises to caribean beaches or theme parks that make anyone with ecological awareness wanna cry and puke. Women measuring their potential mates based on money, eveyrone measuring everything based on how much paper one has or makes , and people expect that from you and give you shit for lacking the initiative of aggresion against your environment for personal gain and ambition
So Yeah, its hard to sustain that afterglow of illumination with existence for more than a few days.
I recomend practicing meditation yoga art and music to maintain alive the feeling of your insights.
