'stopadh' is a very commonly used word and
Níl tada in ann mé a stopadh anois
as suggested by Bríd has my vote also...
Níl tada in ann mé a stopadh anois has my vote too.
By the way, the
a is silent and is left out in some literary works, but is usually written in Standard, I think. (If that isn't correct perhaps someone can explain?)

it feels redundant in: Níl rud // ar bith isn't this like saying "no thing, not a one/any"
Ar bith is an adjective meaning "any" and changes the strength from "there isn't a thing" to "there isn't
any thing" => "there isn't anything" => "there is nothing".
If you added the adverb
ar chor ar bith to the end of the sentence, it would be like saying "anything/nothing at all":
Níl tada/rud ar bith in ann mé a stopadh anois ar chor ar bith. "Nothing at all can stop me now." (This isn't the translation you are looking for, just an explanation of the grammar involved.
