How to Cancel Hims in 2026 (Stop Telehealth Prescriptions + Get Refund)
Updated 2026-02-22 · 7 min read
⚠️ Talk to a Doctor Before Stopping Medications
If Hims prescribed you SSRIs (anxiety/depression meds like sertraline), do NOT stop taking them abruptly — SSRI withdrawal can cause serious side effects. Talk to your primary care doctor about tapering off safely. For finasteride, minoxidil, or ED medications, stopping suddenly is generally safe but hair loss may resume.
How to Cancel Hims Subscriptions
Method 1: Through the Website (Recommended)
Log into forhims.com
Click your profile icon → Account Settings
Go to Subscriptions
Find each active subscription and click "Cancel subscription"
If the self-service option doesn't work: email support@forhims.com or call 1-800-368-4467. Live chat is available on the website during business hours.
⚠️ Cancel EACH Subscription Separately
Hims treats each product as a separate subscription. If you have finasteride + minoxidil + a skincare kit, that's three subscriptions with three separate billing cycles. Canceling one doesn't cancel the others. Check your Subscriptions page and cancel each one individually.
Savings: 60-80% cheaper through traditional pharmacy + GoodRx coupon
Mental Health (SSRIs)
Hims: $85/month for provider consultations + medication
Generic sertraline/fluoxetine: $4-15/month at Walmart/Costco pharmacy (these have been generic for 20+ years)
Better option: See your primary care doctor for mental health prescriptions. They're cheaper and can do proper follow-up care. Telehealth options like MDLive and Teladoc are covered by most insurance.
The Hims Premium Problem
Hims charges a premium for three things that are widely available:
A brief telehealth consultation (which just approves whatever you want — 98%+ approval rate)
Generic medications (the exact same molecules your pharmacy has for 80% less)
Convenient shipping (reasonable, but your local pharmacy delivers too)
The convenience tax is real: Hims marks up generic finasteride by 3-8x, generic sildenafil by 4-10x, and SSRIs by 5-15x compared to pharmacy + GoodRx pricing. If you value the subscription convenience, that's valid — but know what you're paying for.
Getting a Refund
Unshipped orders: Cancel before shipment for a full refund
Shipped but unopened: Contact support within 14 days of delivery for a refund
Auto-renewal charge: If you tried to cancel and were still charged, contact support — they typically refund the most recent charge
Prescription medications already shipped: Generally non-refundable for safety reasons
💡 Transfer Your Prescription
The prescriptions Hims providers write are real prescriptions. You can request your prescription be transferred to any pharmacy (CVS, Walgreens, Costco) and fill it there at generic prices. Contact Hims support or your local pharmacy to initiate the transfer. Use GoodRx or Cost Plus Drugs for the best generic prices.
🔍 Health Subscriptions Multiply Quietly
Hims, Ro, Nurx, Curology, subscription vitamins, fitness apps — health and wellness subscriptions average $80-150/month for many people. JustCancel scans your bank statement to surface every recurring charge so you can see what your "health stack" actually costs.
