[I'm a bit familiar with its dosing.] Instead, she should have expressed some acknowledgement and relief that your anxiety has eased. She failed to make it happen. Perhaps that's part of her problem. Or if she didn't want improvement, we know that's obviously even worse.

If I was in your shoes, I would simply mention the new dose you're taking to any new doc and say it's suddenly helping after an increase. No need to say you raised it yourself, if you can avoid it.

Merci, merci! Your post is excellent, I appreciate it very much. In fact, I am going to jot it down because your advice is so helpful - I can use it.
