Despite the unwanted effects, did it make any difference to the psoriasis?

The headache and death feeling greatly reduces awareness of psoriasis
Ah, the good old "chop off your leg so your foot will stop hurting" method that my dad would propose when I was a kid.

I didn't give it a second chance! Most of these things only have an impact over the longer term. Next time I have a blood panel done I'll reconsider supplements
Taking large doses of anything is never a good idea, normal doses of zinc over a long period is excellent starting advice for many dermatological conditions.

Zinc in general is one of the few supplements shown to actually have benefit for the average human.

fwiw, vitamin K2 helped with my psoriasis at an ordinary supplementary dose, and has no known toxicity at high doses.
