Edie Falco is coming clean.

Making the publicity rounds to hype the new season of Nurse Jackie, the 49-year-old actress talked to E! News about what's in store for her strong-willed nurse and particularly whether she'll be able to stay off the prescription meds that's helped her get her through her day in the past.

"You never can tell. I know she's trying but it's hard," Falco said. "But there's all kinds of exciting stuff in store. Because trying to approach your life without your crutch is an endless array of adventure."

On a more personal note, the mother of two also dished about what her young son and daughter have up their sleeve come Mother's Day this weekend.

"My fear is that nothing will come of it, but I think they have some sort of breakfast thing planned," she revealed.

Nurse Jackie airs Sunday nights on Showtime.
