Not surprising that you have developed tolerance. Real question is whether you possess Restless Leg Syndrome, and if so, a dopamine agonist is the best choice. Find a neurologist for this. But for stress, find a counselor or psychologist and address potential solutions or intervention. Fixing but one problem is likely insufficient to stabilize fully.
