Okay so to see if I got this right - you took a tolerance break, but found your tolerance rose much faster than it did in the past?
This is normal for all opioids I'm afraid. There is not too much to be done. However I do find ketamine helps. Not completely, but it will reduce your tolerance to a noticeable degree so the drug gets some of its magic back.
Also if you are buying headshop kratom, this could well be your problem. Buy from a reputable online vendor instead. Shitty headshop kratom is notorious for being, well, shit.
What @swilow said about novelty is also 100% correct. You will never ever get your first high back. The first time you try a drug is like the first time you listen to a song. If you listen to that song on repeat every day, it won't ever sound as good as the first time you heard it right? Same goes for any other experience you can throw at your brain and that includes drugs.
Finally I wanna say that with opioids in particular, the body seems to have this very strange habit of changing how it reacts to them over time. I used to get high off tramadol. Now it just gives me nothing but horrible side effects. Even after long tolerance breaks this still happens. Why? Tramadol needs to be metabolised, and I'm guessing my metabolism changed over time. The opposite happened to me with codeine. Used to do fuck all even when I was totally opioid naive. Now it actually gives me a nice gentle relaxing high even if I have a tolerance to stronger stuff. Probably because the required enzymes (CYP2D6 in this case) changed in my body. But it could also be a change in how the opioid receptors themselves respond to certain drugs. Who knows?
Kratom is not a traditional opiate, instead it's a plant that happens to have the properties of an opioid, and it's not very well researched so I am not sure how much of this applies here. But it's worth thinking about.
