I think you should get your copper run. When people take high dose zinc, copper may fall. They tend to compliment each other.
Some zinc supplements have copper in them, so look at your label of the product you used or look it up.
Males tend to lose zinc daily...as it is secreted in semen. Women lose Iron, and men tend to lose zinc. So your taking it so long is very odd and unnecessary unless you use GERD medications daily or an ACE inhibitor for blood pressure. These two drug families deplete zinc. This is why oysters are suggested for men as an aphrodesiac .... they are very high in zinc.
Most zinc supplements are harsh and cause digestive upsets. Zinc sulfate especially. Zinc is used in nursing homes to help heal skin bedsores, at very high doses.... 220mg...a day.
I think you should get your testing done, copper level and a zinc/copper ratio.
