Switching from clonazepam .75 for sleep to temazepam because clanazepam is not working as good as it used to be for sleep and i am feeling anxiety next day and don't want to up the dosage. will i have withdrawal issues? 15mg tmz equivalent to .75 cl?

Not quite: The excessive day time anxiety might be because TZ 15mg doesn't help u enough to sleep. Best will be to increase it to 30mg. In my experience that's the most common used dose for Temazepam as sleep aide.

Withdrawal unlikely: Clonazepam is longer acting that temazepam, so the lower equivalent dose of the temazepam gets released faster. So it is a reasonable dose to start with. Generally you want to cut back a bit when switching in case the new drug affects you more. If someone stops a benzo completely then withdrawal might be an issue but going down on the dose in a reasonable manner like this won't likely cause it.
