I'd choose Reishi to replace SP as the 5-AR inhibitor, since Reishi doesn't mess with female hormones and has the nice side effects of immune enhancement and lifespan extension.
Fenugreek is a popular companion to PM since it raises several hormones and shifts estrogen metabolism to the C-2 pathway.
Fennel, asparagus, or hops could be used for prolactin if you're not taking fenugreek. Their phytoestrogens are redundant if you're taking PM.
Maca would be the first adaptogen to try for dealing with hormonal side effects, since the others listed affect neurotransmitters. For example, panax and Siberian ginseng make me feel terrible since they lower dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine release.
