On Monday’s episode of her Whine Down podcast, the singer, 39, revealed that she’s been off her meds for over a month after being on some form of prescription for the last 18 years.
“I am officially a month and a week off anxiety meds,” she said.
Kramer, who shares daughter Jolie, 6, and son Jace, 4, with ex-husband Mike Caussin, explained that she made the decision to “wean down” from Lexapro — a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat anxiety and depression — after having having her firstborn.
Despite her best efforts to wean off of the medication, Kramer said she still had panic attacks and anxiety attacks that kept her from going off completely. Then, after splitting from her ex-husband Mike Caussin in April 2021, the panic attacks stopped altogether.
The discovery led her to talk to her doctor about the possibility of going off her meds completely.
Her concerns were met with positive reassurance from her physician
Kramer has opened up in the past about how the tumultuous marriage with Caussin caused her mental anguish.
In an October episode of Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talk, Kramer revealed that she “destroyed” Caussin’s things — including an expensive tuxedo and multiple Xboxes — after discovering that he cheated on her with over 13 women.
Kramer, who is currently single but continues to co-parent her little ones with Caussin, told Yahoo Life in November that her biggest dreams these days is to find peace in her life.
“I know in order to be a good mom, a good partner — hopefully one day — and a good boss, I have to take care of myself and I have to show up for myself too,” she explains.
